Walk in Faith Retreats - Grades 11 and 12

Walk-In-Faith is a three-day retreat modeled after the Kairos program, designed to help senior students deepen their relationships with themselves, others, and God. Through reflections by young adults and adult leaders, prayer, participation in the sacraments, group activities, and discussions, the retreat guides students to experience God's deep love and consider how to live in that loving relationship daily. It complements previous and future experiences, fostering a continuous spiritual journey.
