Boys Catholic High School retreat circa 1970-71...black lights, psychedelic posters, group sessions. It was more about 'getting to know yourself' than getting to know Jesus. How's this for an occasion of sin...they invited a girl's Catholic High School at the same time and thought it would be a good idea to match up boy/girl and spend a few hours 'getting to know your partner'. Then afterward we sat around in groups to let everyone know what we found out about each other lol.

Good grief...

I remember things like that too. There was a high school "confirmation retreat" on which I spent a great deal too much time with a girl. So distracting. What kind of idiots came up with all this?
