Two boys and two girls, who previously experienced the Sons and Daughters weekend, give the presentation for each of twelve steps which comprise the weekend. This step enables the young people to see the beauty of love as well as the various levels of love. This step is a challenging one as they strive to live out these ideals in their everyday lives. In fact, these four steps are woven into the presentations because they are important and yet very basic. Experiencing the weekend means exploring relationships within the family as well as opening up the whole area of interpersonal communications.
Encounters are open to all faiths and cultures.
Sons and daughters of single parents are also invited to attend. The weekend is conducted by, for, and among youth with a few adults acting as guides and helpers. The participants' parents, grandparents and brothers and sisters are invited to attend where they witness the participants' testimonies. Here, in this atmosphere, parents often respond to the cries of their children and families can begin the healing process. Well, Father Gabriel Calvo, who formulated this weekend out of his experience with families, would first insist that its discoveries be taken back to one's own family and lived.
