RETREAT OPPORTUNITIES
LEAP retreat

LEAP is a unique, communal, and deeply personal experience that is built upon talks, activities and group dynamics to deepen one's personal faith in God and commitment to God's people. The retreat has a series of very personal talks about who we are as individuals and who we are as a Christian community, and it explores the meaning of self-awareness, commitment, peace, prayer and faith in one's life and the challenges these elements present. LEAP is a Christian community that helps participants discover the presence of Christ in their lives, and encourages acceptance, tolerance, and appreciation of people with different gifts, talents, interests, abilities, and backgrounds as elements of the Body of Christ.

LEAP began over 25 years ago as an outgrowth of Cursillo. The program is sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Burlington and the Society of Saint Edmund, and is currently under the direction of Fr. Brian Cummings, SSE. While the program is based at Saint Michael's, it is open to all young women and men between 18 and 25 years of age.

For more information about LEAP, contact Fr. Brian Cummings

Emmaus Retreat

The Emmaus Retreat is a weekend retreat which provides an opportunity for a community of participants to deepen their relationship with God and to share their faith with others. The Ignatian principle "seeing God in all things" is stressed throughout the program as candidates are invited to become aware of God in their everyday lives, recognizing the Lord's presence in others and in the daily activities which life demands. The retreat includes guided meditations, private reflection time, and group sharing. The Journey continues on campus with regular get togethers of mass, prayer, and reflection.

For more information about Emmaus, contact Jason Moore.

Busy Student Retreat

Are you a busy student? See how your busy class and work schedule can gently wrap around prayer, God, and quiet time through this ON-CAMPUS four day retreat. Inspired by a retreat format from the Sisters of Mercy, you stay right on campus and are available to meet with your group when it is convenient for YOU. This individualized program coincides with your own individual schedule and spiritual journey. During the course of the week, you will commit to 1/2 hour of prayer or quiet time on your own, up to 1/2 hour of one-on-one Spiritual Direction with a prayer partner, and several small group reflection times based upon the group's schedule.

Return to your quiet, unhurried self and emerge refreshed and ready for your next accomplishment!

For more information on BSR, contact Fr. Brian Cummings.

Confirmation Retreat Leadership

Confirmation Retreats are opportunities for Saint Michael's students to organize retreats for Confirmation classes through local parishes. These are wonderful opportunities for high school students, as they prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation, to witness college-aged students who are active and excited about their faith lives and personal relationships with God.

For more information about leading a Confirmation Retreat or if you are a religious educator who is interested in having Saint Michael's students lead a retreat for your parish, please contact Anna Lester.

Canterbury Retreat for First-Year Students

The transition from high school to college can bring with it many faith challenges and questions, as well as a sense of independence and new discovery. Canterbury Retreat for first-year students is a Christian retreat which embodies the Ignatian ideal of care for the whole person. The retreat creates an environment where students come together to navigate those issues that arise during the first year of college. Allowing students to discern their place at Saint Michael’s College, within the rich Catholic Intellectual Tradition and heritage of the Society of Saint Edmund, may allow them to take a step along the path of personal faith formation toward a sense of ownership and maturity. This retreat aims to establish and strengthen a sense of faith community within the first-year class and with the campus community as a whole. Along with campus ministers, Canterbury Retreat is led by a student team.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in SPEECH, in LIFE, in LOVE, in FAITH, and in PURITY.  ~ 1 Timothy 4:12

The retreat is held at the Edmundite Apostolate of Saint Anne’s Shrine, in Isle LaMotte, Vermont, along the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain.
