I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity to attend LOTEC. This is a faith formation journey where different schools are gathered together to become closer with God and themselves. I want to go on this trip because this is something that will help me along in my faith journey. It will be cool to see all the different kinds of people there and to be able to experience Colorado with them. By going on this trip I hope to get closer to God and grow in my faith, and to grow closer with my classmates and the other people who I go on this trip with.

I am excited to share that I have made the commitment to participate in LOTEC (Life on the Edge: Colorado) this upcoming summer! LOTEC is a nine-day, intense spiritual, physical, and catechetical experience of our faith. Through this retreat, I hope to grow closer to God, my peers, and myself as I learn to overcome challenges! I will be taking this trip with 11 of my classmates and four adult chaperones. In preparation for the trip, my teammates and I will be training for 13 weeks and are committed to take on leadership roles at school, parish, and other communities.

My cost for the trip is $1400. I have personally committed $150 towards these costs and will be fundraising for the remainder of the fees. Donations will be used to cover my registration fee which includes lodging, transportation, and meals.
