Children Retreats

  

A retreat is a time to step back, to be still and to nurture our relationship with God. 

The childen retreats will be held during the school day or on a weekend. They are usually one to two hours in length.  The retreats are designed for grades 3-5 although they can be adapted for grades 6-7.

Praying in Color

Children are invited to enjoy a comtemplative moment.

This one-hour retret invites students to experience prayer using color. 

It offers the opportunity to invite God into the students' daily living as they pray for themselves and remember others.  This is excellent for Catholic Schools Week.

Advent:  Come Lord Jesus  

This retreat offers students the opportunity to look for the birth of Emmanuel within them.  Advent is a great time of preparation.  Advent means coming.  There is so much emphasis on the gifts that will be received, but how do students prepare for the best Gift of all.  We will use Christmas symbols, a video and hands-on activity to help students in this Advent journey.

  • How can I prepare for Jesus to come into my heart this AdventChristmas season?
  • Do I see Jesus as the best gift ?
  • How do I share that Gift with others?

Lent:  Journey with Jesus

This retreat offers students a time to reflect on how they might follow Jesus this Lent.

Lent is a time when we often think of giving up things but how can we make it a time of giving of ourselves and our time.  The format will be prayer, discussion and a hands-on activity.

  • What do the Gospels of Lent say about how I can live each day?
  • What practice will bring me closer to Jesus?
