We live in a time when Catholic youth are walking away from their faith, are confused about their lives, and are distracted by things of the world. SPIRITUS missionaries enter into this situation, bring young people into powerful encounters with Jesus and show them the beauty of the Church. These moments change lives!

One student said, "Not only did the retreat open my eyes to who I am and want to be, it also inspired me to get deeper into my faith."

Another wrote to a missionary to say "Up until now every class I’ve gone to has taught me little to nothing but you’re the exception. You’ve changed my whole life within 12 hours."

SPIRITUS missionaries appreciate the partnership of the Knights of Columbus to replace a van and drive safely to parishes and schools around the state.

Your partnership makes it possible for SPIRITUS to inspire more than 5,000 Catholic youth on 170 retreats. As with two previous vans, the Knights logo will be proudly displayed on both sides of the new minivan.

We need to raise $36,000 to purchase a safe and reliable vehicle so SPIRITUS missionaries can continue sharing the Good News. A group of generous donors pledged a match of $18,000. That means your council's gift will be doubled!

Religious educators choose SPIRITUS retreats because the missionaries are able to reach students wherever they are along their faith journey.

"The very fact that total strangers in the morning can become great examples of faith and companions the youth “look up to” in a few short hours is nothing short of amazing."

Thank you for helping the SPIRITUS missionaries inspire thousands of Catholic youth and form leaders for the Church!
