Seniors are invited to sign up for one of the Kairos Retreats planned during the second semester. Kairos is a meaningful opportunity for seniors to reflect on their lives, spend quality time with their classmates and grow in relationship with God. Many students say it is a highlight of their senior year. Students must be on the yellow plan during the quarter in which they participate in the 3 ½ day retreat. Space is limited on each retreat. For February, spots for boys are still available; we have a waitlist for girls.
The retreat dates are Feb. 23-26, March 16-19, April 20-23 and they will be held at Maria Stein Retreat Center. The cost is $275 and a $100 deposit holds a spot. Partial and full scholarships are available through the Brendan Foley Memorial Fund. Email Mrs. Simmonds at mrs.simmonds@bwhs.com for more information on this or with any other questions.
To sign up, click on the button below (or go to bishopwatterson.com, on Student Life menu click Forms & Flyers) for the registration form to print and return with payment to Campus Minister Mrs. Beth Simmonds.
