RISE Conference
RISE is the annual Archdiocese of Detroit’s all-day conference for high schoolers with dynamic speakers, powerful music and worship experiences, breakout sessions, small group discussion, and Liturgy. St. Anastasia takes a group of teens to the conference each year.
Fast-a-thon
Fast-a-thon is our annual lock-in event for high school teens to fast together on Good Friday and reflect on Jesus’ Passion. After spending the night together at the church, teens wake up on Holy Saturday morning to make a pancake breakfast together. After a final time of reflection, the event ends.
(If health reasons prohibit a teen from fasting, arrangements can be made and he or she may still attend!)
More detailed information & a permission slip can be found in the Fastathon Packet below (or in the Youth Ministry Office).
Permission slips are due by Monday, March 24.
Retreats
B.A.S.I.C. goes on two retreats during the school year, a fall retreat and a spring retreat. Retreats last from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon and are conducted off-site at overnight retreat centers. The weekend usually consists of games and team-building activities, free time, Mass, many opportunities for prayer and Adoration, small groups, and more. Each retreat is based around a theme that is relevant to teens living their faith. The youth minister and CORE lead the fall retreat, and the Teen Council leads the spring retreat.
Plans for the Spring Retreat 2026 TBA
