Freshmen Overnight Retreat
Saturday, August 26-Sunday, August 27, 2017
The theme of the retreat is “Friendship is being able to be
yourself,” and the motto of the weekend is that “My life is a
gift from my family, my friends, and my God; upon this I shall
build.”
The retreat is led by a group of 160+ Seniors who have been
trained as retreat leaders, and the Freshmen sleep over in the
Jesuit gym. This retreat occurs early in the school year
because it is a significant opportunity for Freshmen to develop
as a community of friends, to understand the traditions of Jesuit
education, and to believe themselves to be a vital part of the
Jesuit High School family. Because the experience
of the Freshmen Overnight Retreat is so important for new
students, participation is mandatory for each Freshman.
Students are automatically signed up for the
Retreat.
Please note: There is a Parent Portion of the Retreat on Saturday morning, and we asked that parents R.S.V.P. to attend the Parent Portion of the Retreat by August 1. If you’ve not yet responded, please read this important information and submit your response a.s.a.p. using the link on the page.
