INTEGRAL ECOLOGY RETREAT
Saturday, April 20 - Sunday, April 21
Desiring a 24-hour fast from your phone? Need time to be silent? Craving some quality time in nature? In Laudato Sí, Pope Francis says, "An integral ecology includes taking time to recover a serene harmony with creation, reflecting on our lifestyle and our ideals, and contemplating the Creator who lives among us." Spend one night away from campus to consider how God speaks through creating, and reflect on your indvidual call to steward the gift of creation. We will depart from campus on Saturday, April 20 at 3 p.m. and return by 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 21. Registration for the retreat will include meals, lodging, and transportation. Financial aid is available. Register here. Please email Tyler Popa with any questions.
