Retreats

November 15, 2024 | Media

Some of life’s best lessons are learned outside of the classroom. Form III and Form VI enjoyed their retreats off campus! Students took a break from their usual schedules to reflect, connect, and just be boys. The day was filled with games, artistic exploration, thoughtful discussions, and Mass—a meaningful time for growth and formation.

Form III went to Holy Trinity Seminary for their retreat which focused on the four cardinal virtues. They heard lectures, had small group discussions, spent some time in prayer, went to mass, and even wrote and performed their own virtue-based skits. Alumnus and current seminarian John Paul Jacob also stopped by to check in on the seventh graders.

Form VI spent their retreat diving deep into faith convictions. Students had the opportunity to share their personal faith journeys with classmates. The retreat also featured an engaging talk from alumnus Nate Sanchez, who spoke about how his faith shapes his daily life and decisions. It was a meaningful day that combined personal sharing, spiritual growth, and connection.
