On September 12th, eleven sophomore boys from Lancaster Catholic gathered with Mr. Art Bamert, Campus Ministry Director, and Mr. Rob Cavender, building engineer, for the inaugural Men at Work Retreat. This retreat was designed to offer young men a chance over two days to do service along with prayer and time to talk about learning to be men of faith who live a life in service to others. The young men who attended did a fantastic job helping to restore and rebuild a short walking trail, and the clean up of trails and grottoes at Mariawald Retreat Center. They spent time each day in prayer, made their own meals, and discussed the challenges that young men face in being faithful.

The proceeds from each order will go towards our Senior Class gift, allowing us to give back to the school that has given so much to us. So, we ask that you purchase a dozen (or two or more!), and help out the Senior class, while also helping yourself. Go Crusaders!
