Each spring, Cristo Rey St. Martin sophomores step away from their usual routines for a meaningful day of reflection and connection at the Greenbelt Cultural Center. The day-long retreat allows our students to explore their faith, grow in community, and deepen their commitment to justice and service.
Highlights of the retreat included a peaceful prayer walk through the forest preserve trails, creative mug painting, and a fun and thoughtful activity where students acted out their interpretations of Gospel stories.
“It was a peaceful experience and I’m glad I got to grow deeper into my faith with God,” said Sophomore, Kaylee A. “The retreats are new experiences that help me work together with my community. I am able to reflect and have fun with my friends, and also become more involved in CRSM.”
The retreat is an integral part of the student faith formation journey at CRSM, providing space for students to pause, pray, and connect their values with real-world action.
