Awakening is a powerful, three-day weekend retreat offered by Campus Ministry to all Chaminade students. The retreat, though Catholic in nature, is open to people of different denominations and faiths who wish to discover the Christian message of hope and love.
The retreat invites our participants to experience God’s unconditional love through a variety of activities including: prayer, songs, fellowship, and discussion.
The retreat is a great opportunity for students to foster new friendships and to share their lives with one another. The retreat is facilitated by currently enrolled university/college students who have attended an Awakening Retreat. Participants experience and enjoy the gifts and talents of their peers/student leaders throughout the weekend.
