Our Retreat Program
Faith Formation & Spiritual Growth at Duchesne High School
An Integral Faith Journey
Our Campus Ministry’s off-campus Retreat Program is an integral part of faith formation at Duchesne High School, guiding students through annual retreats from freshman through senior year.
The Culmination: Kairos
This journey culminates in Kairos—a Greek word meaning "the opportune time." Led by faculty and student leaders, this senior retreat offers a powerful series of talks designed to help students reflect deeply on what matters most, take a critical look at their lives, and discern where they are headed.
Yearly Retreat Progression
Freshman Retreat
Takes place during a school day off campus at the Shrine of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne in St. Charles. Senior student leaders actively assist in leading and mentoring freshmen through this introduction to high school retreat life, while focusing on the spirituality of St. Philippine.
Sophomore Retreat
This dedicated, one-day retreat experience is led each year by the MORE Team from the Marianist Retreat and Conference Center, focusing on community, personal growth, and the theme of free will.
Junior Retreat
A powerful day of reflection connecting spiritual contemplation with hands-on action, and a focus on vocations.
Senior Kairos Retreat
An overnight off-campus experience led by peer leaders and faculty. A transformative opportunity to take stock of life, discern direction, and embrace "the opportune time."
Faculty & Staff Retreat: In addition to our student program, our faculty and staff spiritually renew themselves on an annual one-day retreat.
