Retreats

The heart of the mission of Bishop O’Connell High School is to be a place to encounter Jesus Christ.

To facilitate this, Campus Ministry provides retreats as an opportunity for students to disconnect from the busyness of life and have a true encounter with Christ.

Each student participates in one retreat each year. Retreat experiences vary by grade level (see below) and offer different encounters with Christ: through the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, through His healing power in the sacrament of Reconciliation, through service to the poor and vulnerable, and through entering into a relationship with Him in personal prayer through different activities.

Each retreat has a different theme and structure to the day, but all share a goal of introducing Jesus to the individual student so that when the student graduates from Bishop O’Connell, they have a deep personal relationship with God.

Optional Retreat Offerings

Several other optional and meaningful retreats are available for students looking to further build their relationship with Jesus. Details on optional retreats are available below. Email ministry@bishopoconnell.org for registration information and more.

Students should not be deterred from attending a retreat for financial reasons. Please contact Mr. Fitzpatrick for more information.
