Seeking to further cultivate the faith of the youth in their community, Angela Felicetty, Michelle Boarts, and Madeline Amon, parishioners at the Church of the Beloved Disciple in Grove City, were awarded a grant from the Catholic Foundation to help fund a retreat for their high school students.

At Notre Dame Vision, youth can discover and strengthen their relationship with God, connect and learn with others, and develop practices to live out their faith. The retreat is held on Notre Dame University’s campus and is led by students from University of Notre Dame, Holy Cross College, and St. Mary’s College.

“Notre Dame Vision brought me closer to God,” Mara Barrick said. “The trip made me recognize my flaws and how I relate to others. I learned how to avoid making the same mistakes and improve my faith.”
