Benedictines to Host Wyoming Adventure for Teens

Hiking through the Big Horn Mountains. Hiking in the Tongue River Canyon. Visiting ancient sites, praying with Native American elders and stargazing under the Milky Way.

They aren't your typical summer activities but they are all part of the exciting Wyoming Adventure of Prayer and Service scheduled June 23 – 29, 2008, at the San Benito Monastery in Dayton Wyoming.

Sponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and Earth Hope, the experience invites young women who are Catholic high school juniors and seniors to discover the connections among the Gospel, social justice issues and earth spirituality.

Taking part in the event will be Sister Helen Prejean, a frequent visitor to the San Benito Monastery and author of the New York Times best-selling novel that served as the inspiration for the Academy-Award winning movie “Dead Man Walking.”

Space is limited to only 12 teens, so early registration is advised. Cost is $300, which includes room and board, and scholarships are available to qualifying participants.

Events scheduled for the Wyoming Experience include:

Daily evening reflections with Sister Helen Prejean
