Retreats
The retreat focus this year is on the themes of community building, journey, involvement, friendship, temptations and relationship with God, all through the lens of the Catholic Faith. We will be leading students in fun games, meaningful talks, powerful prayer experiences and providing lunch for the students. The Senior Campus Ministry Class takes a leadership role at the retreats in order to provide a wonderful experience for their peers.
Class Retreats for 2019 – 2020
Junior Retreat:
January 9-11, 2020
Trinity Pines Retreat Center, Cascade
Within our Campus Ministry program, we are offering juniors the opportunity to experience a SEARCH 3 day retreat that will take place at the beautiful Trinity Pines Retreat Center in Cascade. This retreat is limited to the first 45 Juniors to register, so don’t wait! Registration Deadline is December 20th.
What is a SEARCH retreat? The SEARCH is a powerful retreat model that is used at many Catholic High Schools around the country. Its aim is to help juniors take a fresh look at their own faith life, while reflecting on their place within their families, school and community. The focus, above all, is to help young people encounter God and to experience His love in a very real and meaningful way.
