"Let us pray before starting whatever we need to do." (Med. 107.1- feast of St. Matthias)

Retreat days are an essential part of Campus Ministry at Saint John Paul II Academy, providing students with the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and build meaningful Christian community.

Each retreat is centered on a specific theme and includes prayer, reflection, and discussion designed to foster spiritual growth and self-awareness. Attendance is required for all students, and retreat dates are listed on the school calendar.

Underclass Retreat Days
Saint Joan of Arc Catholic Parish graciously provides their Mercy Center for our site for the Underclassmen Retreats. The Freshmen and Sophomores meet at school and are bused to and from Saint Joan. These retreats last from 8:00 AM until 2:30 PM.

Senior Retreat Opportunities
All students must complete a retreat during their time at SJPII. In senior year, students have the opportunity to choose a retreat experience that is most meaningful to them.

While many students attend Kairos, additional options may include retreats such as “Come and See” at Saint John Vianney College Seminary, Koinonia retreats at local parishes, and Days of Recollection at Our Lady of Florida Retreat Center. Opportunities are shared throughout the year.
