Retreats
Machebeuf’s Class retreats provide an amazing opportunity for the students of Bishop Machebeuf to get away from the busyness of life. Every retreat is focused on deepening the students relationship with Christ. Talks are given by outside speakers, faculty, and staff.
Campus Ministry Retreat
This retreat is typically done right before the school year begins. It is a “going deeper” retreat that is not mandatory, but highly encouraged. This years Campus Ministry Retreat is August 21st-22nd.
Freshmen Year
Machebeuf Freshmen are given the opportunity to come together in prayer, mass, and adoration for a one-day retreat. This year's Freshmen retreat is April 9th at St. Francis Cabrini Shrine.
Sophomore Retreat
Our sophomores are sent on a 2-day retreat during the Spring semester and it is their first overnight retreat with Machebeuf. It is March 7th-8th at St. Malo Retreat Center.
Junior Year
Machebeuf’s juniors are split up on 2 separate retreats, one for the boys and one for the girls. This split gives the retreat an amazing depth and challenges each gender to grow as sons and daughters of God. It is an overnight retreat that will be November 9th-10th.
Senior Year
The senior class comes together for the last time on retreat. It is a great opportunity to become closer to Christ and as a class. The senior retreat is January 31-February 2nd at St. Malo Retreat Center.
