Class Retreats

At St. Vincent-St. Mary, retreats are an essential part of each student’s spiritual journey. Each year, students participate in grade-level, one-day retreats that invite them into a deeper relationship with Christ, discovering and exploring the Marianist Charisms and how to live out the STVM mission of learning, leading, and serving. Retreat day experiences provide students dedicated time for personal reflection, hands-on service in the greater Akron area, and opportunities to hear inspirational guest speakers and interact with the greater Church community as well as communal worship.

Kairos

Kairos (Greek for “the Lord’s time”) is a four-day, three-night Catholic retreat rooted in the Cursillo movement. STVM offers three Kairos retreats each year: one in the fall for seniors only, and two in the winter/spring for juniors and senior students. Led mainly by peers and supported by Campus Ministry staff, Kairos gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on God’s role in their lives. Many students describe it as the highlight of their four years at STVM.
