Sophomore Shares Retreat Experience

November 3, 2025

Guest post by sophomore Lilianna Tocco.

"This is one of the best retreats I have been to, and most girls would probably agree. I think everyone's favorite part was having adoration at night which feels so much different than in the day. Our theme was "A Walk to Remember," and on this retreat we got to reflect a bit more on ourselves with the activities. A lot of the girls enjoyed the part in adoration when we got to go up to a plate of sand and write our fears, pain, and struggles; reflected; prayed to God' and then wiped it away. It was a very calming and healing retreat."
