  • Community, Discussion & Reflection

    Kairos is a well-known retreat for high school and college students based on the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits.

Our Mission & Program

The mission of Kairos is to create an environment away, a moment in "God's time," in which participants may be awakened to the ever-present love of God and come to an awareness of "God in all things." 

The Kairos experience emphasizes peer ministry, Christian leadership, support, and community. The witnesses given on Kairos are grounded in and centered on the revelation of God's love for us through the people and experiences in our lives. 

In this four-day program, prayer and the sacraments are central and are complemented with community, discussion, and reflection.
