______________________________
Who am I? Why am I here?
Why are we male and female?
How can I be happy?
Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body sheds light on the greatest questions we have in life. On this retreat, Brendan will share with you how the Theology of the Body has radically changed the course of his life and how it can change yours.
By addressing issues that teens struggle with most, such as peer pressure, pornography, modesty, and dating, Brendan will offer encouragement for teens to maintain their purity or begin again if they’ve made mistakes in the past.
Drawing heavily upon Sacred Scripture, we will discover the truth of why God created us male and female so that we may come to see how glorious the sexual difference is and how it reveals the mystery of God.
This retreat will help men see women in a pure light empowering them to live out authentic masculinity. If you are confused by the culture’s message of how to live out your masculinity and how to be a witness in our wounded world, this retreat will equip and empower you to live fully alive and fearless.

PETE DeMAIO
Keynote Speaker
Pete and his wife Tricia are the founders of the Catholic, pro-life nonprofit organization Mission Love and Life. They met and began dating in high school and recently celebrated 20 years of marriage. God has blessed them with 7 children. Despite being a beautiful image of marriage, family and faith, it wasn’t always this way.
Pete and Tricia made mistakes in their early years of dating and looking back, they feel they both lacked an understanding of love, healthy relationships and the solid formation stemming from a deep relationship with God. This has become the driving force behind their vision for Mission Love and Life.
Pete and Tricia are thankful to have been able to speak at the January 2025 National Pro-Life Summit in Washington D.C., which included speakers such as Kristan Hawkins, Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh.
