Spring Encounter With Christ Retreat: Palanca, Please

March 15, 2019

Over the weekend of March 29-31, a group of UP students and student leaders will be on the Encounter with Christ (EWC) Retreat. Would you consider writing a note (palanca) to the students you know on the list? This is an opportunity to encourage students and express appreciation for them outside the classroom. Each retreatant will receive an envelope of surprise palanca. Please do not discuss this concept with students, to keep it a surprise.

A list of those going on the retreat, along with their majors, can be found at this link. Please submit your palanca to the Campus Ministry office in St. Mary’s. Mark your envelope with “EWC Retreat—(student’s name)” and bring it by Wednesday, March 27.

Please send any questions to Veronicca Bathon at bathon@up.edu or x7889). Thank you for your assistance.
