​​Section 3-6 - Retreats
 

Freshmen and Sophomores attend a one-day off-campus retreat.  Both Freshmen and Sophomore retreats celebrate themes of community and spiritual growth.  They allow for small-group discussion, personal reflection, and communal prayer.

Juniors and Seniors are required to attend either an overnight retreat or a one-day retreat.  It is the responsibility of the student to register for a retreat that best accommodates his/her schedule, especially with regard to extra-curricular activities.  Early consultation with a student's coaches, teachers, and club moderators is encouraged.
 
The Junior overnight retreat is a three-day and two-night retreat held at St. Andrew's Abbey.  The theme of “Caritas" provides students with the opportunity to develop their understanding of God's call.

The Senior Kairos retreat is a four-day, three-night retreat, usually held at St. Edward's Retreat Center.  Kairos (“the Lord's time") enables Seniors to focus on their relationship with God, with themselves, and with family and friends.  It fosters the values of Christian living as the students work to build a true Faith Community.

A one-day retreat is required for all Junior and Senior students who choose to not attend the Discipleship or Kairos retreats.

Registration for all Junior and Senior level retreats takes place at the end of the preceding school year as an assignment in the student's Religion class.​
