2024 Fall Student Retreat
This weekend, Sept. 21st
Fall and Spring Student Retreats
Each year we have Fall and Spring Student Retreats. These offer students a way to escape the business of campus life and opportunity get to know some other Catholic (or seeking) students, participate in some guided and self-directed spiritual activities, and generally get some time to grow in deeper holiness, peace, and joy. The retreats are subsidized by the parish so no one should opt not to come due to lack of funds. There are a few scholarships for those for whom the subsidized fee is too great.
When students think back on their time in college, one of the most common reflections is how powerful retreats were for them - in building lifelong friendships, growing in a deeper and more mature sense of faith, growing as a person, and generally having a great time. Be sure not to miss out on these grace-filled moments.

Twilight Retreats
Throughout the year, we host twilight retreat for the members of the various classes. These are typically held Friday nights from 6pm to 11pm. Each twilight retreat focuses on the spiritual and life challenges (and opportunities) particular to students at that stage of their college experience.
We begin the year with a New Student Twilight Retreat for freshman and new transfer students to help them adjust to life at Cal and develop healthy spiritual practices. This is typically held the Friday after Labor Day. Then later in the Fall semester we offer a Sophomore Twilight Retreat. In the Spring semester, we’ll have a Junior Twilight Retreat and conclude the year with a Senior and Graduating Student Twlight Retreat.
