Retreats

It has been the experience of the Church that one of the most important ways of strengthening and confirming one’s faith is a retreat from the distractions of everyday life. In the long history of the Catholic Church, many great saints and holy people followed the example set by Jesus Christ, and they went into the silence of the wilderness to pray, to contemplate and to adore God.

Sacred Heart provides this retreat experience for students in grades 9, 10 and 12 through their attendance of in-school retreats. Our 11th grade students, however, attend a separate day-retreat scheduled on a weekend in order to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. All Juniors are required to attend the Confirmation retreat. Voluntary retreats are also scheduled and announced by the Religion Administrator and Administration.
