Retreat Overview

Who do you say that I am? This is a question Jesus posed to his Disciples. He also poses it to us. Spend the day reflecting on how to answer this question and how the answer to it should impact our own lives and the way we teach and relate to our students.

This retreat will blend speaker presentations with interactive and reflective sessions giving you a chance to reflect on content with a respected scholar, as well as engage in moments of personal prayer and reflection with fellow colleagues.

Registration for this retreat is being handled by the Diocese of Covington. To register click here.
