Retreats
Each year, students at Bishop Blanchet participate in class retreats in order to grow in relationship with one another and with God. While each retreat is unique and takes place in a different setting, all of our retreats support Blanchet’s mission to inspire students to transform the world around them through a lifelong commitment to faith, scholarship and service. As a means toward that end, all of our retreats connect to our core beliefs.
As Christians and as Catholics, we believe:
- Every person is precious.
- We are responsible for each other.
- We are one human family.
- God is love.
All students attend a class retreat during their freshman, sophomore and junior years at Blanchet. In addition, we currently offer two optional retreats. Beginning in the spring of junior year (April), students have four options for attending a Kairos retreat. Kairos is offered to seniors three times during their senior year (September, December and February). The other optional retreat is the Urban Plunge in early November. This is a small retreat which is open to students in grades 10-12.
Student rosters for our retreats are built from parent registrations on Arbiter. Announcements regarding retreat registration will be made at school and published in the Campus Ministry section of the Weekly Update. Please note: Sophomores and juniors who have not selected a specific date for their class retreat by the registration deadline will be assigned a retreat date by Campus Ministry.
