Ignite | Sophomore Retreat

Ignite is a two-day retreat for our sophomore class that focuses on the Mission Team of Bringing Hope. This flows from the charisms and spirituality of the Congregation of Holy Cross as “people with hope to bring.” On one day, this retreat gives students the opportunity to visit the Museum of Tolerance to learn about the Holocaust in both historical and contemporary contexts and confront various forms of prejudice and discrimination in our world today through interactive exhibits, Holocaust survivors, and group discussions. In partnership with the Museum of Tolerance, students are challenged to look at their personal agency to create positive change. On the second day, the retreat begins with Mass and follows with a day of service solidifying the connection between faith and justice.
