Acolyte Retreat 2013

Events, PNCC /

The Central Diocese annual Acolyte Retreat was held at the Bishop Hodur Retreat and Recreation Center in Waymart, PA from June 26th through 28th.

This year there were 22 young participants (11 from our parish) at the retreat with the presence of four clergy and four parents. Bishop Bernard Nowicki celebrated the Holy Mass and preached on Friday. There were four priests involved in the program: Fr. Sr. Walter Madej, Fr. Marian Pociecha, Fr. Rafal Dadello and Fr. Joseph Cyman. Mr. Joe Kolonko served delicious meals. The children helped him in the kitchen by cleaning the dishes and helping set up for meals.

We thank God for the beautiful weather that allowed everyone to have a great time at this beautiful location. The children and some adults enjoyed swimming in the pool with the supervision of Andrew, our lifeguard. There were games inside of the retreat center such as billiards and ping pong and outside games such as volleyball and basketball. After we hiked to Keen Lake on Thursday, children enjoyed the playground and some kayaked with adult supervision wearing life jackets.

During the retreat we had Holy Masses, and prayer services, singing various hymns and Christian songs. The bon-fire took place on Thursday with marshmallows. After enjoyment all were chased away by the heavy rain. No big deal. In the morning we were welcomed by beautiful weather again. Some visitors came such as Fr. Sr. Chromey, Fr. Carmen Bolock, and Fr. Sr. Mludzik. Thanks to all for sharing a great time! Fr. Joseph Cyman.
