Freshmen
This retreat is centered around the Ursuline 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 Ursuline core value of Reverence. Sophomore retreat will take place at Mount St. Francis Center for Spirituality in Indiana. It will consist of team building, prayer, the Sacraments, nature, and a ropes course led by staff at Mount St. Francis. These activities will help them to understand and live out the importance of reverence towards self, others, creation, and God.

Senior
Senior retreat is a very special experience. Some alumnae will even tell you that their senior retreat was the highlight of their time at SHA! Senior retreat is based on the “Christian Awakening Retreat Program” that many Catholic high schools implement. It is an experience that unites and blends all the Ursuline core values of community, reverence, service, and leadership.
The director of senior retreats this year is Ms. Kim Davis. If you have any questions specific to senior retreat, please contact her at [email protected].
