An Edmund Rice education seeks to provide every student with the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Retreats are an integral part of the way each student is challenged to grow in Christian self-understanding, to develop a life of prayer and worship, and to respond to Christ's call to serve others.

The EMMAUS Retreat offers today's disciples a parallel opportunity to rediscover Christ's presence in their lives, to gain fresh understanding of God's transforming grace, and to form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity.
