Retreats
Queens and Staten Island
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 are led
by a group of St. John's student leaders. Reservations can be
made in any Campus Ministry office.
In Staten Island, call (718) 390-4305.
What do you value? Spend a weekend off-campus at Mt.
Manresa Retreat House in Staten Island, NY with fellow St. John’s
students looking at our University’s core values and how they are
mirrored in your life. Cost: $40.
