ALPHA Retreat

Alpha is a three-day weekend retreat which takes place once each semester. It is a chance to spend some time away from the craziness of college life and get to know more about yourself, deepen your relationship with God, and learn more about the awesome student community here at St. Augustine's.

The Spring semester's retreat will be February 24-26. Registration forms are in the church office.

Spring 2012 TEAM applications are available! If you are interested in being a part of the retreat team, please click here
