Echoes of Worth
Website
Vision: It is the vision that youth discover God’s original plan for human identity, relationships, and sexuality through St John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to echo it in their daily lives.
Mission: Echoes of Worth (EoW) mission is to call the young to hear, experience, and live a weekend retreat focused on understanding the reality of God’s love found in our identity and our purpose. As the body reveals God, our souls respond in worship and praise.
History: While presenting a series on Theology of the Body, three youth ministers were dismayed by their youth’s misunderstanding of human dignity. In response they planned a small lock-in at a parish hall to break open St. John Paul II’s masterpiece. But within six months the Holy Spirit moved to make Echoes of Worth is a multi-diocesan retreat encounter that speaks to the Theology of the Body and it’s relevance for our teens today.
