First, we should explain "WAY". W.A.Y. - Wise and Young. This is the name for the high school youth group at our church. It is NOT because we're WAY too fat, not that at all! We are Catholic teens from Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Northern Virginia. Our bond: St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.

Every Sunday night throughout the school year, we meet for a few hours to discuss things that are going on in our lives, and how it relates to our faith. A couple of times during the year, we do something a bit out of the ordinary, one weekend of "lock-in" at the church, and one weekend-long retreat. This site celebrates our Spring 2004 Retreat.

We also participate in many service projects, ranging from volunteering at local downtown Washington, D.C. soup kitchens to the hosting our parish's variety show - Cabaret - in the spring. The year of service and fundraising culminates each summer with a Group Workcamps trip. This coming summer, we are traveling to Montgomery, West Virginia for our week of service. This will be the fourth Workcamp trip that we have made.
