Program accomplishments

  • pilgrimage and Outdoor Adventure - As Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila wrote, Creatio promotes activities in nature with young people as a way to help them encounter Jesus, who so often withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed (Luke 5:16). By bringing people into nature and allowing them to experience the beauty of creation, Creatio has been able to lead people to an interior transformation and communion that follows a renewal of self, the reception of identity, the healing power of silence, the gift of others in friendship, of communion itself. Todays young adults are flocking to the outdoors to escape the everyday grind, and they are interested in participating in personalized, curated experiences. From camping to pilgrimage; backpacking to hut trips, the Creatio experience is a welcoming and approachable invitationto younger generations, in particularto explore that inescapable desire for God that is written in ourhearts.
