Retreats

A challenge is set for the Freshmen Class, who will brave the Challenge Course at Ski Roundtop. After opening with prayer and a short orientation, the class will be divided into groups to traverse the Challenge Course, with both high and low elements. Students will be challenged individually and as a group to encourage one another and help each other through the course. After lunch, a reflection will be given, relating the day to 1 Corinthians 12. It will be a wonderful day of team-building, unity, .and realizing the unique and crucial role of each individual.

Delone Catholic welcomes NET ministries  for the Sophomore retreat! This team of passionate and faith-filled young adults travels the country leading retreats for high schools and youth groups in a variety of locations. Their retreat will focus on the beauty and richness found in the Catholic Church. Last year, the students looked at their importance as members of the Body of Christ. Now, how do they further their relationships with God and find their identity in Him? This promises to be a high-energy, joyful, and thought-provoking day!

Our juniors use their retreat to live out the mission of Delone Catholic – to be Doers of the Word (James 1:22) – through a day of service.This is accomplished at a variety of locations throughout the Diocese of Harrisburg and surrounding area, including the Seton Shrine at family and Advent events, the Adams Rescue Mission in Gettysburg, SpiriTrust Lutheran Home at Utz Terrace working with the residents, and the Interfaith Shelter for Homeless Families in Harrisburg. Students use this experience as an encounter with the larger community to bring Christ to them.

God has a plan for each and every human life. Even if we are not aware of it, every person is called to something unique, planned exactly for him or her by God. As they plan for graduation, our seniors will explore what God is calling them to, through talks and witnesses, beginning by looking at Mary’s example of surrender, the example the saints have provided for us, and how we can use prayer to help us discern. The class will also gather to celebrate the Sacred Liturgy and be given individual reflection time at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes and in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to consider their futures. 

Kairos is an unforgettable and unique retreat experience.

Spanning the length of a weekend, it gives students a break from the pace of everyday life to reflect on their relationships with God, their families, their friends, and themselves. It is primarily a student-led retreat, under the guidance of adult leaders.
