Grade 12 Retreat: A Time for Reflection, Faith and Friendship
From October 6-8, our Gr. 12 Knights will embark on their final retreat at Camp Stillwood at beautiful Cultus Lake. This special retreat offers our senior students a unique opportunity to step away from the daily routine and spend two nights focused on faith, reflection, and community.
The retreat will provide a space for students to bond as a grade level, share their experiences, and engage in meaningful discussions about important faith and life issues. Through small group sessions, activities, and reflective moments, students will have the chance to consider their personal journey, their relationships, and the path ahead as they prepare for life beyond STMC.
The Gr. 12 Retreat is a meaningful capstone to their high school experience, fostering connection, growth, and a deeper understanding of living their faith in action. It promises to be a memorable experience, strengthening friendships and leaving students inspired as they approach the final months of their time at STMC.
