De La Salle Retreat Belfast: March 2012

We loved having the young people from St. Joseph's. We had a great time talking to the different classes about confirmation and how they feel about making this sacrament. During our groups we participated in fun activities, and we also had the opportunity to play games and enjoy ourselves.

Focus:

We made the night sky and morning sky to show that God is with us night and day.

You've got a friend in me - We chose this song because everyone's friends

We chose Dream Team as our title because our class work well as a team and when we sleep we see Jesus in our dreams

Focus:
The reason we made this heart is because it represents love and family.
The reason we made the light was to show the light in us.
The reason we used everyones art work is because we want to show you what we think.

We chose these words to help us make our focus. Calm, peaceful, nice and soothing.
We chose the beach because it was a calm, peaceful , nice and soothing place to be in just like our retreat day.

Music:
Your song - We are choosing this song because it's nice to tell people how you feel.
Man in the mirror - because it is about people who don't have what we have.

I think this means you don't have to cover your light, you should let it shine naturally by using your talents and skills and not hiding them away from other people.
