The retreat experience is intended as an effective means of evangelization and spiritual development for both faculty and students. The principal and the school’s director of faith formation ministries will determine the type and number of retreat experiences that best meet the needs of the particular school community.
At least one full-day retreat for the faculty is scheduled each year in a location conducive to prayer and reflection. Annual retreats for eighth graders are encouraged and expected to participate in an annual retreat. Elementary schools may provide a variety of retreat experiences for all students.
