Retreats

This four-day, overnight retreat is an opportunity for juniors and seniors to reflect on self and relationships with God, family, and friends. Through the experience of group discussion, prayer, and Sacraments, students are guided to see life in a new way, and more fully appreciate the remaining days of high school and the years ahead.

This retreat is about growing in understanding of what it means to be a Servant Leader. Bellarmine identifies being "open to growth and leadership opportunities" as one of the values that every single student should develop by the time that he graduates. This retreat offers students time to reflect on their gifts and talents, recognize God’s invitation toward leadership, and consider the call to share their personal gifts and talents with others. Activities will include presentations, small group sharing, team building activities, and other prayer experiences. This is an overnight retreat.
