of Frater high school as they could talk in small groups with peer leaders instead of listening to long boring adult talks

Real challenge:

○To help Fráter Gy. High School to establish a new tradition of spiritual retreats

○To introduce a system; two retreats per year and small group talks

○To help the students to deepen their faith
