The
retreat experience is intended as an effective means of evangelization and
spiritual development for both faculty and students. The faculty opens
each year with a spiritual retreat in preparation for leading students in faith
formation. The faculty again retreats in February at the Religious Education Congress, sponosored by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Students also participate in retreat experiences. Fifth through Eighth grade students make a retreat
in first trimester in preparation for Advent. The second grade makes two retreats in preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Third through Fourth grades make retreats as part of the Lenten
Season. The eighth grade makes an
end-of-the-year retreat as a part of their graduation and of their entrance
into high school.
