We will be starting in the Chapel @ 7 with a chaplet and the night will be followed by FOOD and 2 main talks about "How to Have Difficult Conversations" by Jim Jansen and "Homosexuality" by Logan Burda, SLS style. Following the sessions we will have small group time to discuss further. The night will end in intercessory prayer in the Chapel. Prayer team will be available at the end of the night.

Why go to SLS? #1 Consider it training for life as a saint

Why go to SLS? 

#1 Consider it training for life as a saint.

I'll let the Saints convince you to go!

“To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth, that is not living, but existing" --Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

"It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.” - Blessed Pope John Paul II

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” --  Jesus, Mt 28:16-20

Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

You don't have to ski to be a saint, but it helps

Why go to SLS? #2 For leaders only, and anyone who wants to be one

Why go to SLS?

#3 For leaders only, and anyone who wants to be one!

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17.

But maybe you are concerned that you aren’t a leader, that you aren’t holy enough, or smart enough, or brave enough. Be not afraid! Blessed Pope John Paul II reminds us that life with Christ is a great adventure!

“Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.” Blessed Pope John Paul II

We've said it before, we'll say it again, this event goes beyond FOCUS. That's the whole point; creating life long Catholics who are passionate about their faith and evangelization.

Can you have too many pictures of Bl. John Paul the Great?

Why go to SLS? #3 God is speaking, learn how to listen

Why go to SLS?

#3 God is speaking, learn how to listen

"Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart."  Blessed Mother Teresa

Prayer can be challenging, listening can seem impossible, and discernment can cause nausea.

One of the greatest things about SLS is that individuals who have spent their lives training and learning how to pray, listen, and discern will be there. And they want to teach you how to do the same.

Not only that, but YOU get to share your tips and tricks for talking to the Big Guy. Maybe your way of prayer will really speak to another student who feels lost.

They probably would go to SLS

Why go to SLS? #4 How much TV do you need to watch?

Why go to SLS?

#4 How much TV do you need to watch?

It’s impressive that you can plow through three seasons of the Walking Dead in two weeks, but do you know what’s more impressive? Giving of your time, talent, and treasure to spend time with Christ and learn how to better carry out His mission.

Christmas break might tell you that you were made for comfort, but, in the words of Pope Emeritus Benedict, you were made for greatness!

Why go to SLS? #5 Your future spouse might go to a school in New York

Why go to SLS?

#5 Your future spouse might go to a school in New York.

You’re all thinking it. This could be the trip where I meet That Person. And maybe that person is a human person and marriage is your vocation, or maybe that person is the Church or Jesus Himself and it’s that kind of marriage.

It's an amazing opportunity to meet hundreds of college students who are passionate about Jesus Christ as well. Where else will you get that opportunity?

There’s no guarantee you'll find your spouse, but you won’t know until you go!

It'll be like this but WAY better
