The Jornada Movement, a beloved Hispanic youth ministry in the Diocese of Brooklyn, marked a significant achievement on Saturday with its 400th retreat since its founding 58 years ago.

The movement, which unites teens and adults for faith-building retreats and reflections, celebrated the milestone during a Mass led by Bishop Robert Brennan at St. Bartholomew in Elmhurst, Queens.

At the heart of the Mass, coordinators rang bells during the consecration, symbolizing the Jornada members’ ongoing faith journey and inviting those present to let Christ live and work through them.
