Upcoming Retreats

First-Year Retreat: September 18-20, 2009
Are you new to DePaul? The Freshman Connection is Catholic Campus Ministry’s weekend retreat for first year students. Led by a team of student peer ministers, the retreat is focused on welcoming you to DePaul and our vibrant Catholic community. The Freshman Connection is a chance to get away and talk about your hopes, uncertainties and the transition to college life. We are looking forward to meeting you.

Fall Retreat: October 2009
Each October Catholic Campus Ministry comes together for the annual Fall Retreat. The Fall Retreat is a way for you to plug into faith and community at DePaul while having a great time. It’s a time during the quarter when we can get away and reflect on where we’ve come from and where we’re going. This weekend retreat is held off campus and is open to all DePaul students.

Search Retreat: February 5-7, 2010
The Search Retreat is an opportunity for students to encounter the love of God in our relationships, in community and in our daily lives through a series of large and small group reflections. The Search Retreat is based on the Kairos/Emmaus/Cursillo/TEC model. This is a weekend retreat held off campus and is open to all DePaul students.

Busy Person’s Retreat: February 28 – March 4, 2010
The Busy Person’s Retreat is a one-to-one, on-campus, guided-prayer retreat made within the daily activities of your life. Dedicate one hour a day for four days. It is designed for the busy person who wants to go deeper into their faith life and experience the presence of God in the everyday.

Women’s/Men’s Retreats: April 16 – 18 2010
The Women’s and Men’s Retreats are simultaneous retreats offered for women and men to explore what it means to be “Made in the Image and Likeness of God” within a single-sex retreat setting. These are both weekend retreats held off campus at local retreat centers and are open to all DePaul students.

Senior Retreat: May 7-9, 2010
