Retreat Ministry

Deepening friendships and spirituality — stepping out of daily routines to spend focused time in prayer, reflection, and service.

Retreat Ministry

The retreat program is an essential part of our efforts as Christians and the Congregation of Holy Cross Charism formation. Through participating in a retreat, students are able to deepen both their friendships as well as their spirituality.

Our hope is to expand our horizons of understanding while growing our faith in and understanding of our Holy Cross mission to make God known, loved and served.

"The mind shall not be cultivated at the expense of the heart."
— Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., Founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross

Retreat Programs

Knights Reaching Others

Knights Reaching Others is a retreat program that exists to provide students with a mini-retreat experience. Students enjoy an evening of fellowship, reflection, pizza and prayer.

This program strives to nurture healthy relationships through guided fellowship and guided reflection on the connection our faith has to our everyday life. A true Knights Reaching Others experience occurs when a student leaves feeling that their mind has been informed and their heart further cultivated through faith and our Holy Cross values and charisms.

  • Evening of fellowship & pizza
  • Guided prayer and reflection
  • Small group discussions
  • Mini-retreat format

Spes Unica Experience

The Spes Unica Experience offers students and faculty/staff the opportunity to step out of their daily routines in order to spend focused time in prayer and reflection.

Students spend time bonding with classmates, involved in service projects, and participate in prayer or liturgy while expanding their understanding of the Mission of the Congregation of Holy Cross — to make God known, loved and served.

  • Service projects
  • Prayer and liturgy
  • Classmate bonding
  • Multi-day experience
