A retreat is an opportunity to give more of your time in prayer and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ. The purpose of a spiritual retreat is to enter into a time where we can temporarily leave behind the distractions that we so often fall into. The Catholic Encyclopedia describes the need for retreats: "In the fever and agitation of modern life, the need of meditation and spiritual repose impresses itself on Christian souls who desire to reflect on their eternal destiny, and direct their life in this world towards God.”
St. Paul's Newman Center has many retreat opportunities throughout the year that help students grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ by offering them time to relax, pray and reflect on God's will for them. Please take a look at the opportunities we have.

Life-Giving Wounds Retreat
Retreat: April 4-6, 2025, Maryvale Retreat Center
No matter the circumstances, divorce always represents broken dreams and broken hearts. While much of the attention goes to the men and women trying to navigate the tidal wave of loss and hurt, often left in the wake are the children whose sense of security and identity have also been shattered. This can be true even for those who were already adults when their parents’ relationship ended. Life-Giving Wounds is a new ministry to help adults who have experienced the breakdown of their parents’ relationship, no matter at what age it happened and to allow Christ to bring new life through those very wounds.
