About our Group

We are a catholic college-aged retreat team that puts on high school and middle school retreats around the Austin diocese. United by a common interest in sharing God's love with the youth of our church, Strong reaches out to the community by setting good examples of leadership and a faith lived out.

As a student organization based out of the University Catholic Center at UT Austin, Strong puts on annual fundraisers for the parish as well as the Welcome Retreat for new members of the UT community. We are also a tight-knit family who loves to share faith and our college experiences together.

As a retreat team, we typically hold a staff retreat in the fall as well as travel to parishes and host retreats for youth groups throughout the school year. We bring well-planned and well-executed retreats to the parishes we serve. Strong retreats are fun, exciting, colorful, energetic, faith-filled, and Christ-centered. We love sharing the rewards of knowing God and strive to inspire the youth we encounter to have the same passion!
