Spring Retreat 2025: Verso l'Alto

-
To The Heights!Verso l'Alto, or To the Heights, was the catch phrase of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, an Italian Catholic who died at the age of 24 in 1925. An avid outdoorsman, Pier Giorgio could regularly be found climbing mountains and skiing as he ascended the heights, literally and spiritually. Though he came from a wealthy family, Pier Giorgio renounced his wealth and committed his life to sharing the Catholic faith, caring for the poor, and to a deep life of faith.Join us as we journey to the heights, inspired by Bl. Pier Giorgio, and learn what greatness the Lord is calling us to!

About Our Retreat
In 1923, Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati spoke to a group of Catholic youth and young adults in Pollone, Italy. He focused on the three words on the group's flag: prayer, action, and sacrifice. These words sum up what it means to go "to the heights". Join us for a weekend of prayer, rest, and community as we explore prayer, action, and sacrifice in our lives.
By talks given by fellow students, small groups, time in Mass and Eucharistic Adoration, shared meals, free time, and more we'll dive into the Lord's call to greatness in our lives and discern what it is he invites us to in life.
The weekend is $75 which includes five meals (breakfast Saturday through lunch Sunday), your accommodations (including linens and towels), and carpool to the retreat center.
Don't let this weekend be ordinary! Journey with us as we strive Verso l'Alto!
