Go stumping to other parishes [and their youth directors] See if you can get a word in after Mass, before the recessional. Set up tables somewhere and get the kids signed on board for the retreat. Be sure to mention fun, bands, food and the parents will perk up at the thought of their child having the Bishop there. Get some volutneers to help "spread the message" since you are only one person and can't cover each and every church. See if you can get a small "interview" with the diocese newspaper that details your upcoming event and all the info. If there's an on-line way to print out the form and mail it that might be cool. Hope maybe this helps some??? Many prayers for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I found a sure fire solution to making a retreat a success. When I started getting my leaders together a week before the retreat for a rosary, we would always have a successful retreat.

photosynthesis Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 do something like "I'll dye my hair blue if 100 people register for the retreat" Or something like that. high school kids love that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
