MERCY 
(GR. 5-8)

This very interactive retreat focuses on what Mercy is within our faith, our schools, our families and ourselves. We travel through different stories and give practical steps to countering the cruelty and selfishness of our world.

 

Students will be submerged in opportunities to act mercifully through physical and hands-on activities. We strive to assist students in realizing how a simple act of kindness, patience and bravery can, in fact, change the lives of those around them. This retreat is a great way to bring mercy back to the classroom.

UNITED 
(GR. 5-6)

This retreat focuses on assisting students to see the need to come together, in all aspects of their lives; reminding them that we cannot walk together, if we cannot stand together.

 

They will be challenged to participate in active and practical exercises to reach out to people who are not in their typical friendship circles. The activities will help to foster a community of respect.

 

Students will be shown the little ways they can bring joy and love to those around them, and should leave inspired to walk with others.

REVIVE
(GR. 8)

This retreat focuses on assisting students to see what happens after their Confirmation. How they navigate their lives with these new gifts.

 

Also, a large focus on finding hope in the most hopeless of situations. We will address topics of loneliness, mental health, family, loss, disappointment and more.

 

Giving students a practical way to move towards the direction of finding peace and joy, when they feel suffocated and disconnected by their peers, their family and the world in general.
