Michael Regan – Why Attend SMCHS Retreats?

Fellow SMCHS Students,

At Santa Margarita, retreats are central to having a tremendous faith experience.  In addition to service opportunities and the ability for students to practice their faith, Santa Margarita offers retreat opportunities for each grade level.

For those students who have yet to attend a retreat her at Santa Margarita, I am here to encourage you to do so.  Mr. Tait and Mr. Cabildo work very hard to provide these opportunities for students and they are very worthwhile.

Here are my top five reasons why every Santa Margarita student should go on a retreat:

Retreats give students the opportunity to grow closer with their peers and build long-lasting relationships.

Retreats give students the opportunity grow closer in their  relationship with God.

Retreats help students get away from the struggles of their everyday life, and enjoy a stress-free period with their peers.

Retreats give students the opportunity to free themselves from the guilt of their sin through Eucharistic adoration and confession.

Retreats give students a feeling of fulfillment that enables them to make better choices, and can ultimately make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of those around them.

 

I hope that these five reasons will encourage those students who haven’t attended a retreat to do so before they finish their four years at Santa Margarita.  Retreats are important activities that enhance student life at our great school.
