Retreats

The St. John’s Campus Ministry Retreat Programs offer an exciting opportunity to students to take a break and refresh!  Give yourself the time you deserve to get away, meet new people, pray, relax, and take stock of where you are. Campus Ministry sponsored retreats allow you to do just this. The weekends and overnights are led by a group of St. John's student leaders.  Over the course of the year, we offer:
