Retreats

Through talks, reflection, conversation, and prayer, retreatants will discover how they encounter Christ in their everyday life. Students participating have a chance to grow closer to Jesus and those around them, in a space designed for faith and fun to meet. Registration for these retreats along with further information often becomes available mid-October, and again in mid-February. Feel free to contact Campus Minister for Retreats, Fr. Ryan Kerr, C.S.C.  with any questions!

 

First Year Retreat is an unforgettable one day experience for first-year students to begin their personal journey at Stonehill! Retreatants begin to answer some of the big questions that come with the college experience, make deep connections with others who are in the same place, and move forward into their first year at Stonehill with community and a sense of comfort.

The Retreat is coordinated, planned, and led by students who share the goal of building community, familiarize students with the offerings of Campus Ministry, and providing a deeper understanding of spirituality and faith at college. This opportunity is open to first year students of all faith backgrounds. No previous experience on retreats is required! For more information please contact our Campus Minister for Retreats and Faith Formation, Fr. Ryan Kerr, C.S.C. !
