The Student Mission Retreat (SMR) is offered a week before classes begin in August as a way to prepare our student community with renewed missionary zeal. This retreat is planned by the Saint Paul’s Outreach Florida Region for all college students in Florida seeking to be restored after summer and fired-up in preparation for the upcoming new year on mission.

Our fall retreat is all about encountering the Lord in a new way through the sacraments of the Church. If you’ve only ever been on a confirmation retreat or youth ministry retreat, get ready for something different. This student-led, Eucharist-centered retreat welcomes over 165 college students who all want to be there to grow in their faith. We have small groups, talks, witnesses, and a whole lot of fun. You don’t want to miss it.

Our spring retreat deepens our faith with the next step of living out a life in the Holy Spirit. This student-led retreat focuses on declaring Jesus as Lord of our lives and asking for a deeper release of the Holy Spirit. We grow in the fruit and gifts of the Spirit, to more fully live out the call to holiness and mission received in baptism, confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist.

Whether you graduated 20 years ago or you are graduating this May, we know that the Lord has a plan for wherever you find yourself post-college. Come back to CCM for a retreat day to recognize the ways He has been working, and to set your heart ablaze to continue the mission He has for you.
