World's Greatest is Bergamo’s annual retreat for high school students. The theme is taken from scripture, Genesis 1:27 – “God created man and woman in his divine image.” The retreat design is to follow that scripture and have retreatants discover that they are each a gift to the world. Since we are made in God’s image we must see each other as the world’s greatest gifts and treat each other with respect and with responsibility to make good choices. This retreat was created to be a showcase of new ideas and prayer experiences.

This retreat is open to anyone in Southwestern Ohio. We have had retreatants attend from Dayton, Troy, Cincinnati, Celina, Centerville, Huber Heights, Beavercreek, Columbus, Vandalia, Sidney, Kettering, and Kentucky. This is a Catholic based retreat, but we invite anyone called by the spirit who has a spark in their heart for God.
