Day #2 of the Y.E.S. Retreat had breakfast & opening prayer.  Then we loaded up the bus and headed out for our first service project, St. Elizabeth Gardens, a elderly day-care center.

The Y.E.S. Retreat continued with guest speaker Gloria Luna of Voices That Challenge Office of Social Advocacy.  She introduced Catholic social teaching by presenting the differences between Charity & Justice.  One group covered “global warming” and the other “immigration.”  Gloria also gave us some “fair trade” chocolate.

The Youth Enjoying Service (Y.E.S.) Retreat is a 5 day service project experience for high school teens from all over the archdiocese of Miami.  It’s is held a the Madonna Retreat House in Hallendale.  This year had a small (but very lively) group of 12 teens.

It began with a general orientation and icebreakers like “Human BINGO” and “4 Winds Blow” to get to know each other better. 

Then we had a dinner prepared and served by Barbie‘s crew.
