About the Young Adult Retreat "Effeta"
-
"Effeta" is a Catholic retreat program for young adults, ages of 18 to 30, which focuses on helping participants to grow in their faith, deepen their relationship with God, and build community with other young Catholics. The name "Effeta" comes from the Gospel of Mark (7:31-37), in which Jesus heals a deaf man by saying "Ephphatha", which means "Be opened".
Effeta was created in Colombia and has quickly spread all over Latin America, Spain, New York and Miami. We are proud to be part of this group of young adults in St. Matthias.
Prepared and executed by the young adults, this retreat may be offered in different formats, such as weekend retreats, day retreats, or ongoing formation programs. The retreats may include elements such as prayer, worship, spiritual talks, small group discussions, and opportunities for confession and spiritual direction.
If you are a young adult and want to be an influence on others spiritual life, here you have an opportunity.Are you ready to open your heart and change your life?
