Are you feeling the weight of today’s environmental challenges? You are not alone.

Young adults are invited to participate in a free retreat day with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace that integrates faith, mental health, and environmental awareness.

Many young adults experience climate anxiety, grief, or uncertainty about the future.
