Retreats
Retreats are
an important
element of
Marist's
spirituality.
The following
are brief
descriptions of
those offered at
Marist.
Freshman
Retreat:
All freshman
participate in a
day-long retreat
with their
religion class
at Camp
Manitoqua in
Frankfort, IL.
This retreat
serves as an
introduction to
our retreat
program and
offers the
students a
chance to enjoy
each other's
company,
consider their
relationship
with God and
pray together.
Sophomore
Retreat:
All sophomores
visit the
Greater Chicago
Food Depository
for a half day
where they
assist the staff
in sorting food
destined for
local food
pantries.
This retreat
introduces our
faith's mandate
of social
responsibility
and allows us to
see how close
poverty and
hunger are to
our own
neighborhoods.
We return to
campus for
further
reflection and
to celebrate the
Eucharist
together.
Kairos
Retreat:
The Kairos
retreat program,
a very popular
program in so
many Catholic
high schools
throughout the
country, is
offered to
seniors and
gives students
three-and-a-half
days of talks,
discussion,
prayer and
reflection.
Students develop
greater trust in
themselves and
others and build
a stronger
relationship
with God.
Registration
and Teacher
Forms
Following
are various
permission forms
which can be
downloaded and

retreat, field
trip or anything
