Campus Ministry

Faith Development and Contemplation

Spiritual Direction

You meet with someone (spiritual director) on a somewhat regular basis to discuss your prayer and faith life. You can make it whatever you would like it to be; this is your opportunity to discuss whatever questions you have.



Retreats

A retreat is a special time to pray, reflect and grow. Campus Ministry offers various retreat opportunities throughout the year. Special groups are scheduled, as well as general retreats. A retreat may also be made individually with a retreat director. Retreats will be scheduled each semester. Different types of retreats and programs provide the time and space to grow in knowledge of God and one another, within a faith perspective.
