Student Retreats

Freshman - Pillars

PILLARS is a one-day faith-based retreat designed to help you understand yourself and the new Central Catholic community you are a part of through the lens of the 5 Marianist Pillars of Mary, Faith, Inclusivity, Community, and Mission. This one-day experience is held at the Oblate School of Theology.

Sophomore - Lumos

LUMOS is a faith-based retreat designed to help you understand yourself as a light for others, show your good works, and glorify God. It is part of our Catholic- Marianist school to derive our radiance from Christ and reveal Him to others. This one-day experience is held at T-Bar-M in New Braunfels, TX.

Junior - Emmaus

EMMAUS is a social justice-based retreat. Together on the road to Emmaus, the Apostles encounter someone who is considered other in their midst, but instead of shunning him, they welcome him to walk with them.

This retreat is designed for us to walk in solidarity with the "others" of our society and understand how to walk as two on the road with the other. Juniors attend this day retreat at Tecaboca in Mountain Home, Tx.

Senior - Magnificat

MAGNIFICAT is a faith-based retreat centered on becoming a servant of God using Mary as the ultimate model for servant leadership. Through Mary’s “Yes” Christ was brought into this world.

The challenge of the senior year faith journey is to take all they have learned and discern how do their classroom experiences, retreat experiences, service experiences, and brotherhood experiences allow them to better answer God’s call and to bring Christ into the world for all those they encounter. This overnight experience takes place at Tecaboca in Mountain Home, Tx.

Sports Retreat

This retreat is offered at the sole request of the Head Coach to the department of campus ministry. Previous sports include: football, soccer, and baseball.
