One of the most important parts of this retreat is prayer, prayer and more prayer. Prayer is the strong foundation upon which this entire evangelization process is built and cannot be stressed enough. Fortunately, in our Catholic faith we have an arsenal of prayer choices -- Mass, rosary, novenas, fasting, adoration, etc. -- to draw from.

The Retreat Coordinator and Main Evangelizer should have already secured these.

• Team Meeting #1 - 4 weeks prior to retreat
• Team Meeting #2 - 3 weeks prior to retreat
• Team Meeting #3 - 2 weeks prior to retreat
• Adoration Hour (optional) - week of retreat

Coordinate with the parish office for anything needed for main conference room (podium, microphone, chairs, writing board, etc.).

• Team Meeting #1 Agenda

• Team Meeting #2 Agenda

Check in with all your volunteers to confirm that they are on-board and ready to go.
