Freshman Retreat

The Freshman class participates in a retreat with the theme of “Welcoming you where you are!” and focuses on meeting students as a member of the St. Mary’s community no matter what their faith background is.

Through talks and presentations by students, staff, and priests, the Freshmen delve more deeply into the history of St. Mary’s, specifically that of our founders, the Redemptorists and the School Sisters of Notre Dame; the meaning of faith; and how to get involved in the St. Mary’s community to make the most of their four years here.

The rest of the day is filled with intentional community time and games, and students attend daily Mass with the parish. 

The retreat takes place at St. John Neumann and is a wonderful opportunity for students to get to know their classmates and the community they have just become a part of.

The retreat is planned and led by a retreat team of upperclassmen students, the Campus Minister, Guidance Department, Freshman Teachers, Faculty Members, and the High School Chaplain.
