  Are you a young adult looking for information about consecrated life or need some guidance as you make life choices and discern God’s call in your life? We are here for you! CAVA provides opportunities to deepen your understanding of consecrated life and the option to choose a life as a Brother, Sister, priest, or other forms of consecrated life. CAVA also works collaboratively with other groups to assist in supporting young adults grow in their relationship with God

Congratulations! You have made an important decision to make a Busy Person’s Retreat There are many other things that you could do this week, and there are many things that you will do in addition to this retreat. You have chosen, however, to spend a portion of each day “to come away for a while to an out of the way place” to retreat—to pray and reflect, to talk and share, and to grow in God’s love for you. You have made a great decision!
