YAC Retreat

Holy Trinity's Young Adult Community offers two retreats each year: Spring and Fall. The Fall, 2026 Retreat will take place at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America in Washington, DC on October 24th.  The Spring 2027 retreat is scheduled for the weekend of April 30 - May 2, 2027 at Loyola on the Potomac in Faulkner, MD.  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.

Information for the fall 2026 retreat, Finding God in All Things: Our Longing for God & God's Longing for Us, will be available in early September.
The retreat will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Finding God in All Things: Our Longing for God & God's Longing for Us is a retreat for those in their 20s and 30s. Our faith teaches that our loving God has been creating us from our first moments of life, but it can be easy to overlook the action of the divine in the everyday. Through this day away at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, DC, young adults will explore how God has been with them in their journey so far and where God is meeting them in their lives now.  Periods of sharing and reflection will be grounded in the spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola, whose Spiritual Exercises call us to look within and encounter Jesus through our imaginations and unique experiences.
