Retreats
Jesuit education works to give each student a chance to hear and respond to the Gospel. To give each student a chance to grow in Christian self-understanding, the spirit of prayer and worship, and the Christian call to service, retreats are offered as an integral part of the Marquette High experience.
Retreats are considered to be so essential that the academic year for all freshmen and sophomores is deemed incomplete unless a retreat has been made.
freshman retreat
The Freshman Retreat is a dynamic experience that builds community. Juniors and seniors lead the retreat, and a group of sophomores serve as the grounds crew. The upperclassmen develop leadership skills through the organization and implementation of this energizing experience. The retreat takes place in February but planning begins the previous summer.
Sophomore retreat
The Sophomore Retreat provides students time for reflection and contemplation in a relaxed environment. Retreat activities encourage students to consider how they are growing in relationship with God, family members and friends. Retreats are held at the Schoenstatt Retreat Center in Waukesha and conducted by MUHS faculty and staff.
kairos retreat
The Kairos Retreat for many students is the highlight and culmination of their entire MUHS experience. Kairos is an optional peer-led retreat for juniors and seniors. The retreats take place in September, November, January, March and April.
