Each year are three key retreats are held to respond to the needs of college students. Traditionally over one hundred students participate in the retreats.

• Busy Student Retreat -- This week long individually directed October retreat held in the midst of classes helps students learn how to pray and reflect on Scripture daily. Students meet each day one on one with a priest or sister director and commit to 30 minutes of prayer each day.
• Awakening Retreat -- This weekend encounter retreat held each Spring is a specific retreat for college students and is led by a team of college students. The retreat held at the Lake of the Ozarks is an opportunity to awaken faith and become aware of God's unconditional love.
