TOBIT

Join us for a weekend retreat as we delve deep into Pope St. John Paul II's teaching on Theology of the Body. We will delve into some of the deepest questions of human existence, including:

• What is the meaning of Life?
• Why did God create us male and female?
• What kind of joys await us in heaven?
• Why is there evil and how do we overcome it?
• How do we experience the love we long for?

Mass - Talks - Adoration - Praise & Worship - Confession - Games - Sledding - Bonfire - Friends - Small Groups!

Who should attend?

TOBIT is open to high school students in grades 9-12 who reside within the boundaries of the Diocese of Duluth.

This retreat does not fulfill the requirements of a Confirmation retreat. 

 

There is something new to learn and be heard when it comes to Theology of the Body and we want to see you back!  At TOBIT 2025, we will have two tracks available.  If your son or daughter has not attended TOBIT before, please choose TRACK 1.  If your son or daughter has attended previously, please choose TRACK 2.  

There will be times when all participants are in the same sessions and other times when they will split and have their own presentations.  You will indicate which Track your son or daughter will attend during registration.
