Senior Juliana Miller recently visited Camp Whitewood in Windsor, Ohio, for a retreat with her church, St. Mary’s of Hudson. St. Mary’s runs a program for high schoolers (Life Teen), which lets teens interact with others their age who follow catholicism through a special mass with live guitar music, exciting activities on Sunday nights and witnesses from other participants. Each year, Life Teen organizes a special retreat just for high school seniors. Click “Gallery” on the first photo in the bottom left corner to learn more about Juliana’s time at this empowering retreat.
