Retreats

9th Grade Retreat

“Building Community” focuses on helping ninth graders recognize and develop a spirit of unity as they begin their years at Holy Angels. Prayer, ice-breakers, and discussion groups encourage students to strengthen their relationships with each other and with God.

Sophomore Retreat

“Who Do You Say That I Am?” Invites the participants to reflect on their personal relationship with Jesus. This is accomplished through small group discussion, large group sharing, meditation and a service component. 

Junior Retreat
“Follow the Star in Your Heart” participants explore leadership qualities through the lens of the charism of the SSNDs, particularly Mother Caroline Friess, first leader in North America. This retreat is led by peers who participate in a mini-retreat day themselves, and meet weekly for two months to plan this experience. Through prayer, meditation, skits, witness talks, and group sharing, students identify their personal gifts of leadership.

Senior Retreat

Seniors participate in a one day retreat toward the end of the school year. This event is planned by a team of their peers. During this time of transition, seniors use this opportunity to reflect on their four years at AHA, share their hopes and fears about the future, and find strength and courage from their relationship with God and their bonds of friendship with each other.

Kairos 

The ultimate goal of Kairos is that the sense of connection to God, family and friends that teens experience during the retreat will flow into all aspects of the retreatants’ lives.  Many have found it to be a life-changing experience. Kairos is for seniors and some juniors.
