Mater Dei Retreats
Each year, we provide our students with a one-day retreat (by class), which is held off campus.  During these faith experiences, students are lead by a professional retreat team that focuses on a different aspect of faith for each class, yet challenges all of our students to deepen both their faith and their understanding of our Catholic tradition.
