Youth Ministry
The Archdiocese of San Francisco supports youth ministry programs that foster the catechesis, moral, and spiritual formation of young people in Middle School through High School.
Our Goals
Guided by the USCCB’s document, Renewing the Vision (1997), our ministry has three goals:
To empower young people (ages 13-17) to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today;
To draw young people into responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the faith community;
To foster the personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
To accomplish these goals, we offer training, community, workshops, resources, retreats, and collaboration opportunities for Youth Ministry Leaders within the Archdiocese, as well as training, retreats, catechetical events, leadership opportunities for youth themselves.
Genuine love is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.
St. John Paul II

Silent Ignatian Retreat
5:30pm (08/05) – 12:00pm (08/11)
Cost: 1440
What is an Ignatian Retreat?
An Ignatian Retreat was conceived by Ignatius of Loyola., the founder of the Society of Jesus. Many people find this type of retreat very accessible because it is based on how God is active in our daily lives. Taking time to explore our lives using our imagination, we begin to find how “God is in all things”.
As we spend time with “God in all things,” a new experience of relationship begins to open up in us. We see how God is always extending love and friendship and we realize that God wants to be connected to us. On retreat, we take time to contemplate this connection with God through meditations and the assistance of a director, we begin to open our hearts to God.
What to expect on retreat:
Daily spiritual direction
Daily Mass
Time to explore our connection with God through silence, prayer, art, and nature
Spiritual Direction available in Spanish and English
Silence on the Retreat
Silence on the retreat helps each person to focus their attention on God’s action in their lives. The silence is a silence of consideration as such retreatants are asked to maintain an atmosphere of silence at meals and in the bedroom areas and outside. No phone calls within the building, please.

The Way of the Heart: A Silent Wisdom Retreat
12:00pm (08/23) – 4:30pm (08/28)
Cost: 1220
“The heart is the place of our origin in which the soul is, as it were, coming from the hands of God and waking up to itself.”
– French Benedictine Henri Lassaux
The Way of the Heart is at the center of the Christian Wisdom tradition, a transformative pilgrimage of the soul. This immersive silent Centering Prayer wisdom retreat is an invitation to enter the cave of our hearts, to listen deeply to its rhythm, and open to the guidance we discover within. Engaging the timeless teachings of Christian mystics, teachers, and sages, we invite you to explore the depths of your being and cultivate a profound connection with the divine within and all around.
This retreat is ideal for seekers of all backgrounds who are drawn to the contemplative Christian Wisdom tradition and are yearning for a deeper connection with the divine. Whether you are new to contemplative practices or have been on the spiritual path for years, this retreat offers a sacred space for renewal, reflection, and inner transformation.
Join us in person at beautiful Mercy Center, Burlingame, CA where we will gather to explore the Way of the Heart through the teachings of mystics and the practices of Centering Prayer, Chanting, Lectio Divina, guided Meditation, and Sacred Gestures and Movement; all held within the arms of the Great Silence. In this silent Wisdom retreat, there will be times of group sharing during teaching sessions.
