Retreats
Student retreats are moments of withdrawal from daily routines
so that students can encounter silence, reflection, and deeper questions of meaning.
Our Approach
Inspired by St. John Paul II’s call to live boldly and seek what is highest, retreats challenge students to examine who they are becoming and what they are living for. These experiences provide space for the sacraments, prayer, and honest self-examination, helping students return to school life with greater clarity, courage, and interior strength.
Retreats also invite students beyond their comfort zones through physical and spiritual challenge. JPG immerses students in the contemplation of beauty and confront them with real limits, they discover that growth comes through effort and sacrifice.
