Freshmen

This retreat is centered around the Freshmen core value of Community. Sacred Heart Schools is a community rooted in the Ursuline ministry and tradition. The retreatants will spend the day on campus in the Ursuline Motherhouse. The retreatants will experience our community through exploration of the campus, teambuilding activities, and education about the foundress of the Ursulines, St. Angela Merici, as well as through prayer and the Sacraments.

Freshmen will be assigned to their retreat with their second semester Theology class. You do not need to complete any forms or registration for freshman retreat.

Sophomore

The focus of sophomore retreat is the sophomore core value of Reverence. This year, we are excited to welcome back NET Ministries to help facilitate the Sophomore Retreat. NET Ministries is a Catholic network of young adults who are passionate about sharing the faith with youth. NET missionaries travel the nation leading hundreds of youth retreats each year.

Sophomore retreat will take place at Country Lake Christian Retreat center in Southern Indiana. It will consist of team building, prayer, the Sacraments, nature, and talks and activities led by the NET Ministries team. These activities will help them to understand and live out the importance of reverence towards self, others, creation, and God.

Junior

Junior retreat is based on the Junior core value of Service. This is a 2-day, 1-night retreat (8am of Day 1 through 2pm of Day 2) with an option of a 1-day retreat (8am-5pm) as well. Throughout this retreat, students will participate in service activities, service learning, team building, and be nurtured in their service work through prayer and the Sacraments.

Senior

Seniors can choose to attend either the traditional 4-day retreat or an alternative 1-day retreat. The traditional 4-day senior retreat is based on the “Christian Awakening Retreat Program” that many Catholic high schools implement, and it is considered by many to be the highlight of senior year. It is an experience that unites and blends all the core values ofcommunity, reverence, service, and leadership. Those who choose to attend the one-day retreat instead of the traditional 4-day retreat will experience a day of recollection, prayer, team building, and preparation for being sent forth into life beyond high school.

The cost of the 4-day retreat is $370 and the cost of the 1-day retreat is $25. Payment is collected via FACTS. Financial assistance is available (please contact Ms. Daly at [email protected])
