WHY? The retreat experience provided by the home parish is viewed as an essential part of the Christian Formation process. Students will have time for reflection, prayer, discussion, games, structured activities, hiking, and mass. It is hoped that each student will grow through this experience in both their intellectual and spiritual understanding of God.
HOW? All students will travel by way of a yellow school bus.
ETC? Students must attend one, full Catholic-sponsored overnight retreat before their entering into the 11th grade Confirmation Program. No leaving early or arriving late!
