RETREATS
WHAT IS A RETREAT?
Retreats are a weekend away from the busyness of campus life to deepen our relationship with God and with each other. No matter where you are at in your relationship with Christ, join us for a powerful weekend with Mass, talks, and recreation! Retreats are a great way to make space for God and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

There is also time for playing sports, hanging with friends, and having some homework-free downtime. As Fr. Tim always says, no one has ever come back from a retreat wishing they didn't go!
WOMEN’S RETREAT
Hey ladies! This one’s for you! Each year the women of CSU gather together for an amazing retreat weekend. This is a time set aside to deepen our sisterhood in CSU, deepen our relationships with the Lord and to have a whole lot of fun.
FRESHMAN RETREAT
In August, we invite all incoming freshmen to our day-long Freshman retreat. Come to meet more Catholic freshmen and current CSU members. We will have a few talks, spend time getting to know each other, and explore some of the best spots in Tallahassee. We would love to welcome you to campus and into the CSU family!
WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED ON RETREAT?
"Retreat has been a consistent gift where I am able to take time to deepen my disposition of heart for prayer and for Jesus. It's renewing and healing during the sometimes chaotic adventures of college!"
— EMMA, CLASS OF 2023
“Every CSU retreat has pointed me closer to deeper discipleship, but God threw an avalanche at me during spring retreat my sophomore year. My life's focus became to know, love and serve God, and while I was only beginning my spiritual journey, the gospel came alive to me. I didn't need my glasses to see the Eucharist during adoration because He filled my soul with His love.”
— GABE, CLASS OF 2023
"Not knowing what to expect in college, freshman retreat showed me the true Tallahassee. I met people who genuinely wanted to know me, and hear my story. More importantly, I met people who were motivated to surrender their life to Jesus and would help me to do the same."
— ZAC, CLASS OF 2025
