A large group from our Class of 2025 participated in 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 retreatants: Isaiah Aljuwani, Samuel Atkinson, Zachary Bonuito, Kevin Bridge, Massimo Ciccarelli, Luke Colleran, Patrick Cullinan, Joseph Den Haese, Jackson Deet, Bobby Dickey, Patrick Enright, Johnny Esposito, Liam Feeney, Hector Gitego, Serge Gonzalez, Dylan Leong, Jack Lincoln, Ethan Manley, Nicholas Marcello, Andrew Mineo, Travis Modzelewski, Nathaniel Pantano, Kenneth Paolini, Matthew Pierce, Giacomo Pili, Jack Riley, David Romanovich, Cormac Schaeffer, Thomas Sheehan, George Wiley V, Sheldon Zipp.

The faculty leaders were history teacher Dave Hayes ’87; Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Chuck Frederico, S.J.; Assistant to the Principal Fr. Edward Durkin, S.J.; President Fr. David Ciancimino, S.J.; and religion/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 Spring Open House on April 27 via canisiushigh.org/openhouse

This place is special. Let us show you why.
