THERE IS MORE. Last night with boys' Conquest Summer Camp, we followed Jesus in procession around Annunciation Heights, the new home for the JPII Outdoor Lab. Almost exactly one year ago, I remember following Jesus in procession at Conquest Camp, and hearing God say very clearly, "THERE IS MORE. Let me show you what I can do." God is faithful! We began hosting school groups at our new home this past spring, and it’s clear that our mission to lead youth closer to Christ through creation and the sacraments will be realized even more fully with the benefit of a permanent home. Our vision for the JPII Outdoor Lab at Annunciation Heights is that young people will come to know more fully the truth about God and themselves, and will encounter perfect truth himself: Jesus Christ. With Mary as our mediatrix, outdoor lab retreatants will experience God breaking through in their lives in a new and transformative way.

We look forward to continuing to keep you “posted” about all of the exciting and inspiring events happening at the JPII Outdoor Lab as we transition to the new Annunciation Heights page—coming soon!!

"Yes, we would die for Jesus." So say the 7th graders from St. Louis, Louisville, in response to Fr. John's question. They would also sled, hike in the snow, throw countless snowballs, and Orienteer through snow! What a beautiful week with a beautiful group of young people. THANK YOU for coming to Annunciation Heights and for inspiring us with your faith and love for God.
