Verso L'Alto: Ascend with Hope 


Our theme for this year's Advent Retreat parallels that of the 2025 YCP Conference. "Verso L'Alto" symbolizes Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati's daily commitment to striving for sanctity through devotion, service, and communion. Fr. Tom Woost is an expert when it comes to the teachings and life of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati. Come and hear from Fr. Woost about how we can learn so much about hope during Advent from such a great Saint-to-be. 



St. Joseph Saturdays are retreats open to the public that encourage young professionals to "look upon work with the eyes of faith" and see God's presence in their vocations and professional lives. Retreats include time for guided reflections, group discussion, confession, and Mass. They especially encourage reflection on the life of our YCP patron, St. Joseph the Worker, and the St. Joseph prayer we recite as a YCP community at the end of each event.
