Brief Description:
Marquette Experience is rooted in the Jesuit ideals which shape Marquette as a university community. It provides an opportunity to reflect on one’s college and life experience in light of these ideals. This retreat includes peer reflections and time to share and pray together. A great opportunity to get off campus and spend some time with your fellow students!
On this retreat, you will find yourself;
- listening to peers witness to Jesuit Ideals,
- spending time reflecting on how these Jesuit ideals are found within your life
- sharing insights in small groups
- praying both alone and as a faith community
- relaxing away from campus to focus on yourself and God
- having fun!
