Some clubs have held masses in the late evening for Young Alumni in remembrance of dorm masses. Other clubs have held masses after community service projects to celebrate the effort. Back to top Club Retreats Club retreats are excellent opportunities to reflect on specific aspects of one's life. Retreats can vary in length from a couple of hours at a church to a weekend at a seminary and often focus on one subject or aspect of life. Some clubs offer couples retreats where spouses can have a quiet day to themselves and examine their family relationships and values.
Many retreats start with a club mass.
It is recommended that clubs work with a local parish or seminary to plan and hold retreats. Back to top Special Lenten Programs Lent is an excellent time to host spiritual programs. Some clubs hold Hesburgh lectures during Lent that focus on spiritual topics. Other clubs sponsor community outreach programs, such as alumni urban plunges. Lent is also an excellent time for a club mass or retreat.
