For many teenagers, making the time or finding the time to unplug so that there can be stillness and quiet to hear God’s call is a challenge.  Our retreat program is designed to provide these opportunities. These special days of prayer, reflection, and discussion are thoughtfully planned to cater to each grade level's unique needs and stages of development.

Freshman Quest

Held at the beginning of the freshman year, this retreat focuses on building community within the class and learning about the history and charism of Juan Diego.

Sophomore Overnight Retreat

Their first overnight experience, this retreat emphasizes the theme of belonging, helping students find their place within the school community.

 
 

Kairos

A unique and profound four-day retreat that delves deeply into our relationships with ourselves, others, and God. Kairos allows students to explore and share their personal stories while learning to appreciate the stories of others. By the end of the retreat, students often find that they have not only gained a better understanding of themselves and their peers but have also developed a stronger sense of community and a renewed commitment to their faith.

Kairos leaves a lasting impact, equipping students with the tools to navigate their spiritual journeys and to foster authentic, compassionate relationships with others.

Sancta Terra Retreats

Additionally, our junior and senior classes attend and experience their respective Sancta Terra or “Sacred Ground” Retreats in the spring each year. 

  • The Junior Sancta Terra theme is being a “difference-maker” as they become the leaders of the school as the rising senior class. 
  • The Senior Sancta Terra encourages the senior class to embrace and remember their time on the Juan Diego Catholic High School Campus as they prepare to move on after graduation.
