Retreats/Kairos

Quote from Luke

Following the model of Jesus, we take time out of the busyness of the school year to step back, reflect, and pray through our retreat programs. We offer multiple retreats throughout the year, including a faculty/staff retreat, an all-school retreat, men's/women's retreats, and Kairos retreats.
