Retreats
"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
- St Augustine, The Confessions
The soul that yearns for love is made complete by discovering the infinite love of God. Our hearts remain restless until they find true rest in Him. Retreats at Mater Dei offer precisely this: an opportunity to encounter God in a deeply personal and intimate way. Rooted in the Sacramental life of the Church, Sacred Tradition, and Sacred Scripture, retreats at Mater Dei foster authentic community. Their purpose is to provide students with the opportunity to enter into prayer, grow in their spirituality, build meaningful relationships, and find rest in God. Retreats are the place where hearts are refined by God’s love, and the intellect is opened to discover the greatness of who God is.
Mater Dei offers a variety of Retreats for all grade levels which are specifically designed to the life of students in their prospective grade levels.
