Retreats
Newman @ Nite
Newman @ Nite is an overnight weekend retreat held right here at the parish, created for students looking to grow deeper in their faith and community. The retreat focuses on formation and personal testimony through powerful talks, small group discussions, and time for reflection—helping you connect your story to God's bigger plan. But it’s not all serious—we pack in tons of fun with late-night games, laughter, and plenty of good food to fuel the weekend. Come as you are, and leave encouraged, formed, and connected.
18 Hour Retreat
The 18 Hour Retreat is a fast and furious overnight experience designed to jumpstart your connection to the vibrant community at St. Albert the Great Newman Center. In just 18 hours, you'll dive into fun, faith, and friendship while getting a firsthand look at all the ministries campus ministry and the parish have to offer—both during your time in college and beyond. From engaging talks and community-building games to powerful moments of prayer and discovery, this retreat is your invitation to get plugged in, fired up, and ready to live your faith boldly.
Annual Camping Trip
Our Annual Camping Trip is the perfect chance to unplug, breathe in the beauty of God’s creation, and enjoy a weekend of fun, friendship, and faith. We head out into the great outdoors for hiking, campfires, games, and lots of laughter—leaving behind the stress of daily life. While the focus is on building community and enjoying the adventure, we also take time for simple moments of formation and prayer that help us reconnect with the Creator in the midst of His creation.
