Hello SMYRT!
Relationship
“Formed in the faith and rooted in prayer…”
SMYRT is an Apostolate group for college students that desire to share the love of Jesus Christ, they themselves have experienced, with the younger generations.
Identity
“…SMYRT seeks to provide retreaters and staffers a personal encounter with Christ…”
During each semester, SMYRT prepares retreats for surrounding parishes, catering to both high school and middle school teens.
Mission
“…through an authentic experience of the Christian life and a deeper understanding of the Church and Her people's call to holiness.”
Members of SMYRT are committed to a prayerful lifestyle that is filled with community and joy. We want you to be a part of that joy.
