Alumni

Men's Retreat

Join fellow alumni for a weekend of fellowship, faith, and renewal at the Strake Jesuit Men’s Retreat.

Step away from the demands of daily life and spend a weekend deepening your faith and connections with others in the Jesuit community. The retreat features a balance of reflection, small group sharing, Mass, and time for fellowship and rest.

Hosted at the Retreat and Leadership Center, this weekend experience invites men to explore their spiritual lives through prayer, conversation, and camaraderie—all in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
