Today the 8th grade class had a fall retreat. The purpose of the retreat was to build the community of the class. We opened with a powerful Gospel telling us to love our enemies. After a brief discussion the students discussed their faith in small groups. Next they created skits about the different Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Finally they worked in small groups trying to build small houses with a deck of cards. We closed the retreat with a prayer asking for the ability to love our enemies.
