Retreats


Retreats are offered every semester through the UMass Lowell Catholic Campus Ministry. Students have the opportunity to reflect, pray, and grow in their spiritual lives with fellow Catholic students. Past retreats have been in Maine and Massachusetts, off campus, for a weekend or have involved a day of reflection at a monastery.

Twilight Retreats

Can’t make a weekend retreat? Take a few hours from your busy schedule and come aside on campus with other students for a light dinner followed by some quiet time for reflection and group sharing. Dates for the Fall semester will be forthcoming.
