The retreat experience is intended as an effective
means of evangelization and spiritual development of both faculty and students.
The principal, elementary school religion coordinator, or high school campus
ministry team, as applicable, determines 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 to
be calendared each year in a location conducive to prayer and reflection.
Annual retreats for eighth graders and all high school students are also to be
calendared. Elementary schools may provide a variety of retreat experiences for
all students.
