All students in grades kindergarten through 8th participate in a day-long Class Retreat. Retreats are created and sponsored by volunteer parents. Often our parish priests will join the children while on retreat for prayer, song, and activities. Our Class Retreats cover a variety of topics while providing our students with a safe place to grow in their faith as they journey to become faith-filled Catholics. Retreat topics include:
