PURE FASHION RETREAT
"True Colors"
The St. Charles Lwanga Center has embarked upon a new endeavor. They have joined the Pure Fashion St. Louis Directive Team. Pure Fashion is a national program that focuses on girls between the ages of 14 - 18 years old. While most girls that age are naturally focused on what they wear, what others think about them, how do I look, and of course...boys, Pure Fashion challenges them to look and think deeper on those issues. It also challenges them to view themselves and those they encounter with purity and virtue.
During their True Colors Retreat, the group of fifty-three young ladies listened to a male panel share their thoughts on what they consider to be beautiful, what attracts them to a young lady, all that makeup, and how a young lady sometimes dresses and behaves can send them mixed messages.
Other activities included a soul makeover, Gospel Pictionary, finding your true colors, proper method and amount of makeup to apply, history of fashion, a prayer panel, a discussion on our image and the media, prayer services and two Masses. Saturday evening was topped off with an 80s Theme Dance Night.
The True Colors Retreat was held at Camp Grapevine in Dutzow, MO on November 7 -9, 2008.
