Class Retreat
The overnight Ignatian Retreat is a silent retreat built around the elements of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The retreat invites the students to review their lives from a prayerful and God-centered perspective.
It is an opportunity for the students have an authentic encounter with their God and to look back their experiences, process, and relish it some more before they move to Senior High. This will encourage students to further reflect on their experiences to make a connection between their talents, their dreams, and the world’s greatest needs. Who have I become? What am I now passionate about? What am I good at? What and where are the world’s greatest needs?
Ecumenical Prayer Room
It is a room for all. Prayer Services can be done in that room by the Catholics, Non-Catholic Christians, and Muslims.
Eucharistic Celebrations
Everyone is invited to our Wednesday and Friday Eucharistic Celebration at 07:00 AM at the Chapel of the First Companions.
