STATE-WIDE CATHOLIC STUDENT RETREATS

 

Students representing colleges and universities throughout the State of South Carolina come together for a retreat experience one weekend in the fall and again in the spring each year.

The weekend programs are held at regional retreat centers and are planned by the campus ministers and student leaders. Registration fees are shared between the student participant and the respective campus ministry.

The retreat experience includes: input, small group sharing, prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, Penance Service, celebration of Mass, good food, great atmosphere, and solid fellowship.
