YAC Retreat

Holy Trinity's Young Adult Community offers two retreats each year: Spring and Fall. The Spring Retreat will take place at Loyola University Maryland Retreat Center in Flintstone, MD on April 11-12, 2026.  Our retreats are peer-led with opportunities to share in small groups and celebrate the Sacraments. They are in a format that integrates Ignatian spirituality with contemporary issues that are important to us as young adults.

Young adults are invited to attend other parish retreats as well. Click here to view more opportunities to make an Ignatian retreat at Holy Trinity.

The What Next? Retreat uses the Paschal Mystery as a framework to reflect on the transitions we go through in life. Retreatants are invited to reflect on their Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday moments, and on the tools our faith provides for our growth as we wait in hope for God's promises to be fulfilled.

This peer led retreat will include talks by individual participants, small and large group discussion, time for individual prayer and reflection,  the celebration of Mass and free time during which spiritual conversation and the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered. We will be accompanied on retreat by our pastor, Fr. Kevin Gillespie, SJ.
