Paraclete High School students are urged to celebrate one retreat every year. Students may fulfill this requirement through a Class Retreat, through another retreat offered by the Campus Minister, or through any retreat (even non-Catholic)approved in advance by the Campus Minister.
Class Retreats
Freshman, Sophomore and Junior retreats are one-day experiences, which take place during a regular school day and are free of charge. The Senior retreat is a two-day, one-night experience.
Special Events Retreats
The Campus Minister also sponsors special events retreats. Examples of these are Youth Day at the L.A. Religious Education Congress, the Fast 4 Food experience, the All Girls Retreat and the Wilderness Retreat.
Sports Teams, Clubs Retreats
The Campus Minister is available, upon request by coaches or moderators, to create and direct retreats for Paraclete sports teams, drama, choir, band, or club teams.
Non-Paraclete sponsored Retreats
The Campus Minister coordinates the proper recording of independent or non-Paraclete sponsored retreats. Students who opt for this alternative must inform the Campus Minister before they celebrate such a retreat and provide written proof of satisfactory completion of the retreat.
