Pictured: The Savio House Team with a youth retreat group at White Nancy, Bollington

Recently, our year together came to an end at Savio House, with the departure of our volunteers and Br Lukasz going home to Poland. It has been an amazing year filled with laughter, fun and friendship and we have been able to share it with over 1600 students who have visited Savio this year on retreat.

We would like to thank the staff from each of the 26 schools who gave up their time and put in all he background work to bring students on retreat: we truly appreciate all the work you put in. We would also like to thank all the people who have answered our calls for assistance and have given up their time to help us throughout the year. We won't name them in case we forget anyone - but you know who you are.

We are lucky this year as Kazzi and Laia have truly entered into the Salesian spirit and have volunteered further to work on summer projects through Salesian Youth Ministry.

Finally we would like to thank all of the retreat team for all the hard work they have done throughout the year. The mission of Savio House would not be possible without the team and words cannot express our gratitude.

We would ask you to keep each of them in your prayers as they move forward to the next stage of their journeys.
