The ‘Cornerstone’ day retreat programme will encourage our young people to reflect on how each of them are unique and have their own gifts and talents. The young people will think about how we can all come together as one community with Christ as the Cornerstone.

Uniqueness
Man’s soul cannot be the product of an evolutionary development out of matter or the result of a generative union of the father and mother. With every man, a unique, spiritual person comes into the world; the Church expresses this mystery by saying that God gives him a soul, which cannot die; even if the person loses his body in death, he will find it again in the resurrection. To say, “I have a soul”, means that God created me not only as a creature but as a person and has called me to a never-ending relationship with him.

Community
Every person has a mother and a father, he receives help from others and is obliged to help others and to develop his talents for the benefit of all. We profoundly belong together and are fundamentally dependant on one another. (YOUCAT, 321)
