Reflection Of Retreat

I have been to retreats where women were opening up about their lives, and I recall very vividly thinking, “I am not going to share with these people, I do not even KNOW these people.” For me, personally, I must feel comfortable with a person and the situation, in order to share. This retreat was for only two days, so there wouldn’t be enough time for me to even build a lasting bond with those women. There must be a foundation of trust, and in my personal experience, trust regarding a person,

the unknown was ahead. We were on our way, traveling down the empty highways to northwest New Jersey. It was a mandatory retreat to get to know our new peer mentor partners, who we would work with once a month for the next year. 23 Birch Ridge Road, Hardwick, NJ was the destination. Camp Mason was the place that we’d spend our next two days on Mother’s Day weekend. The retreat has changed my life and I am better because it allowed me to realize that nothing is ever as bad as I think it is and it

This paper will discuss the purpose of retreats within the Catholic tradition by examining the three historical perspectives: Biblical, Theological and Authoritative and then evaluate how these perspectives raise an awareness of God’s presence as encounters with God, self, others and creation. The discussion will also examine how the approaches of both religious and laity from pre Vatican II to modern times fulfil the purpose of retreats in Catholic schools. Once reviewed a selection of approaches

was organized in 1997. The Young Offenders Program was a retreat offered for young, “high risk” male felony probationers in Bexar Country Department and Corrections. This program was created for the probationers rehabilitation plan. Their objective was to decrease recidivism and to rehabilitate the offender. Today it is recognized as a state program. The Ministry of the Third Cross now offers retreats for both men and women. These retreats are held on the weekend, where attendees are able to connect

students in traditional praise and worship songs, along with the school song to bring the community together, united as a school community and united as a faith community. Surely, this portion of the retreat will be high-energy, loud, and invigorate students for the new school year. The school-wide retreat builds the faith community by bringing students, faculty, and staff together to pray, worship, serve and celebrate. Indeed, an inclusive activity like this helps form bonds between all participants

To be successful a leader or manager must have vision, and to have that vision come to fruition the leader must align that vision with goals, but the only way to achieve those goals is through planning. Every plan needs to operate like a map to success. Strategic and tactical planning, when used correctly, represent planning models that can lead companies forward toward the vision of their leaders, and the attainment of the goals those leaders have developed. Strategic and tactical planning work

Students can choose to donate left-over supplies and gently used backpacks, or purchase new supplies when doing back-to-school shopping. Then, all supplies will be sorted and distributed to the gym, cafeteria, and library. On the day of the retreat, prayer partner groups will gather in one of the three assigned locations to pack the backpacks with supplies. Teachers will supervise older students helping younger pack the backpacks. Included with each backpack is a personal note to the recipient

Freshman Service Day Reflection Caty DuDevoir On October 20, 2016, I was given the opportunity to work at The Cedars, a retirement community in Portland. Mrs. Fitzpatrick and several of my classmates accompanied me on this trip. A service day is about putting others before yourself, and understanding that their needs are more important than yours. To be a Cheverian, one must being willing to sacrifice and put others before themselves, Cura Personalis. At The Cedars, my small group and I talked

them throughout my college career so far has allowed me to unconsciously live up to these standards. I have also consciously lived up to these ideals through my participation in the Handprints Retreat my freshman year and the Kairos Retreat my sophomore year. I had actually signed up for the Handprints retreat on a whim, but it ultimately turned out to be an amazing opportunity and something I still look back on with fond memories to this day.
