A group of 14 seniors and four faculty members recently traveled to the Adirondack Mountains for our annual Wilderness Retreat, a three-day experience that engages the participants in quiet time and reflection among the stunning wonders of nature.

Building upon the foundations established as underclassmen, participants in the Wilderness Retreat embrace St. Ignatius’ maxim to “find God in all things.” 

To do this, students engage in a reflective experience in the beauty of creation, focused on the journey of life and understanding their relationship with Christ as well as their companions. 

The experience couples challenging, rewarding hikes throughout the day with reflection and conversation at night. 

Leading the retreat in the Adirondack High Peaks were history teacher Dennis Beecher ’88, English teacher Paul Cumbo ’97, science teacher Steve Wanzer and Director of Alumni Relations Jay Josker ’01. Read Cumbo’s travelogue at our Facebook page. 

These terrific photos are by Cumbo and Beecher. 

Our extensive CHS Campus Ministry retreat program also includes the Freshman Retreat, Emmaus for sophomores, Kairos for juniors, the Senior Silent Retreat and others. 

You can support our retreat and immersion trip initiatives through our Campus Ministry Spaghetti Dinner on Friday, Nov. 15. Order your takeout dinners at canisiushigh.org/spaghetti
