- Catholic Campus Ministry Fall Retreat
  
  This year's Catholic Campus Ministry Fall Retreat will be held at the Diocese of Little Rock in Little Rock, Arkansas. The retreat will be held Friday, October 21st through Sunday, October 23rd. The theme for the retreat is I Have Kept the Faith (2 Timothy: 4:6-7). Deacon Danny Hartnedy will be the Retreat Master. Deacon Hartnedy has served as a spiritual director for the past 7 years and has preached retreats and been director of silent retreats. He has been a deacon for over 10 years and has also taught religion at Christ the King Catholic School in Little Rock for 25 years.
  
  The retreat is open to students from around the state of Arkansas. The weekend will begin with a talk on the uniqueness of the Faith, focusing on the need for Eucharistic Revival. As the weekend continues, we will explore the areas in our lives in which we are struggling for God's purpose in the struggles and trials of our lives. How do we seek and find balance in our lives as the world around us continues to change? How do we deal with the inevitable angst over what our futures hold and the feeling of uncertainty we might have in the plans we are currently making for our futures? Are the decisions we are making really the right choices? Most of us are keeping things together due to our Faith being the one constant. How do we express this to our friends who perhaps are no longer practicing the Faith?
  
  The weekend will include praise and worship, small group discussions, Adoration, Reconciliation, Mass, and fellowship with Catholic college students from around the Diocese.
