Retreats
Retreats are probably one of the most fun and inspirational thing the Newman Center does each semester. Each semester we take a trip to the eastern parts of north carolina (the beach) for a good time coming together to get to know one another and share faith experiences. Its fun and prayerful. There's plenty of opportunities to jumpstart your involvement in the newman center and find your faith home with us. Many students believe retreat weekend to be the most fun part of the year for them.
Student Testimonials
"The fall retreat turned my life around for the better, if it wasn't for the fall retreat I wouldn't have made the friends I did or be where I am today. One friend got me involved with Student Government and now I'm a respected member of the Student Congress. The retreats also enlightened me spiritually and reinvigorated my prayer life and made me more in tune with the sacraments. I really feel like I have a closer and more personal relationship with Christ now."
"Attending the newman's center fall retreat deepened my faith and completely changed my attitude toward going to church. I didn't worry about whether it was "cool," I just went because I believed."
"I thought the retreat was a very memorable and uplifting experience for me. It was my first retreat with the Newman Center and I had a blast and made several friends. After listening and talking with many people at the retreat about their relationship with Christ, I left there at the end of the weekend with a very close relationship with God and a new outlook on life."
"The retreats have pulled me into myself, into the faith based person I want to be"
"The Spring retreat was my fourth retreat with the Newman Center and my favorite by far. Each retreat continues to strengthen my faith as well as both new and old friendships with fellow Newmanites. "
The retreats at the Newman Center are a lot of fun and give you a relaxing break from the craziness of college life. They help us form close bonds and bring us together as a family.
