Freshmen and sophomores all go on a day-long retreat with their homeroom. These are held out at Bethany House or the St. Francis Retreat Center in DeWitt. These retreats are led by older students and help students focus on where they are at with God through a mix of prayer, games, witness talks, and discussions. Each retreat includes Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Juniors and seniors who wish to be leaders should see Mr. Moore.
As juniors prepare to finish high school and think about colleges and careers it is a great time to reflect on who God is calling them to be.
