Partner with SPIRITUS to spread Christmas joy!

Why don't people see Christianity as a source of joy? Pope Benedict XVI believed that many see the faith as "something institutional - rather than as an encounter with Christ.”

SPIRITUS is trying to change this by facilitating life-changing encounters between youth and Jesus. Missionaries meet students where they are in their faith journey and share their loving witness of faith, showing that Catholicism is relevant and meaningful in our everyday lives.

SPIRITUS retreats engage young people with activities, music, witnesses, and prayer that reaches their hearts. These dynamic retreats encourage students to encounter Jesus and grow more in love with Him.

“The retreat was a very faithful, fun, and peaceful day of encountering God,” shared one student after retreat. An educator said “The missionaries opened the door for an encounter with Jesus and His Love in a way that can’t be ignored.” The joyful encounters students have with Jesus on retreat help them grow as disciples, drawing closer to Jesus and spreading the joy of the Gospel to those around them.

“It always fills me with wonder and joy at the end of a retreat to hear the ways the students were impacted and how they encountered God. The Lord is always working, even when it doesn’t seem like it,” shares first-year missionary, Maria.

We could not spread this joy to young Catholics without your support! Please partner with SPIRITUS so we can continue sharing the Good News, and the joy that accompanies it, with young Catholics.
