A group of our seniors and faculty had a profound experience last week at our CHS Senior Silent Retreat, a directed retreat focused on deepening one’s life of reflection and prayer.
 
The three-day retreat was held at Notre Dame Retreat House on Canandaigua Lake in Ontario County, about 95 miles east of Buffalo. 
 
The retreat is “silent” since the purpose is personal reflection and prayer that allows participants to listen to God individually, rather than in the communal activities emphasized by our hallmark Emmaus and Kairos retreats.
 
However, the retreat does include talks about exploring Ignatian prayer concepts and other forms of prayer, the celebration of Eucharist, limited group discussions, and one-on-one conversations with an adult director.
 
Overall, the retreat is an opportunity to slow down and experience quiet time in our otherwise busy lives.

The Class of 2024 retreatants were (left to right): Jack Benz, Evan Galvin, Mark MacDonald, Ryan Stravino, Simon Gates, Luca D’Angelo, Anthony Lana, Colby Cihak, Rowan McNeil, James Sutton.
 
The faculty leaders were Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Chuck Frederico, S.J. (left); Assistant to the Principal Fr. Edward Durkin, S.J.; and religion and music teacher Eric Koessler ‘84.
 
Students and families interested in the unique experiences provided by CHS Campus Ministry and the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius can learn more at our Open House on Sunday, April 28: canisiushigh.org/openhouse 
 
This place is special. Let us show you why.
