University Ministry invites you to shape your life in response to God and the Gospel in the tradition of St. Ignatius. Retreats are created by a student staff along with a University Minister to give students a chance to get away from campus to grow in faith, to share faith, to pray, to have quiet time for reflection and meet new people. The retreats are Christian-based with a strong Catholic vision and are open to all students of any faith tradition. The schedules vary based on the theme of the retreat, but generally include witness talks, presentations, small and large group discussions, time alone to reflect, prayer times, journal times and social times. MU retreats are a lasting experience.
Students develop friendships that continue throughout their college careers.
Follow-up events carry the spirit of the retreat into the Marquette community. Some are sponsored by University Ministry and some are initiated by the students themselves. Opportunities are provided for prayer, reflection, friendship and fun through various University Ministry activities. Students may also want to apply to become retreat team leaders for the following year. This 24 hour retreat is sponsored by Midnight Run and invites participants to reflect on the relationship between faith and service in their lives.
