Please see information from St. Peter’s Parish Respect Life Committee below on this retreat geared toward middle school girls. Below are files with all the information you’ll need to promote this event. Please print out and share this information.

The Respect Life Committee of St. Peter Parish has been sponsoring Theology of the Body Retreats for High School Girls for three years now.  The leaders of the retreat have recognized that middle school girls would greatly benefit from this type of retreat, but with the information presented more at their level.  
 
We are pleased to announce the first retreat that will be geared to 7th, 8th & 9th grade girls.   It will be held on February 4 – 6, 2022.  (See flyer and an Announcement with the details below.) 
 
In past retreats we have given the girls an evaluation form to fill out.  Their responses are amazing.  The vast majority gave rave reviews to the experience they had.  I am attaching a sample of the evaluations.   
   
 Any help you can give in publicizing this retreat will be greatly appreciated as usual.
 
   If you have any questions, let me know or you can text Eileen Christian at 610-716-1840.   She is the coordinator of the retreat.

She is passionate about educating young females on the beauty of their femininity. Marie believes that the foundation of the “feminine genius” – as described by Pope St. John Paul II – lies in her capacity to know that she is endowed with specific feminine gifts that encourage her to become the woman she is called by God to be.
