In preparation for our Confirmation in Term 2 we attended a retreat in De La Salle Retreat House on the Glen Road . It was a fantastic break from school in gorgeous surroundings. The retreat house has the most beautiful church where we had our prayer service at the end of the day. We got to choose our own music for the prayer service and decorate the church. We had fun meditating , making posters and praying. Have a read of our evaluations and a look at the gorgeous photos taken in front of the amazing stain glass windows in the church.
