Like campfires, having fun, meeting new people, and Mass outdoors?

The Companions Overnight Retreats are for you! Participating in a Companions Overnight Retreat is a great way to take a break, meet new people, and prepare for the journey ahead by connecting with upperclassmen guides and getting the personal and spiritual "gear" you need for success!

Image: Companion RetreatSt. Ignatius called his first followers "companions." Like the Jesuits we are companions of Christ and one another. This Catholic/Ignatian Retreat welcomes students of all faith backgrounds and those seeking ways to grow spiritually.

This September spend time with God, hear advice from upperclassmen on navigating college, and reflect on life as you begin your Fairfield adventure. The retreats are sponsored by Campus Ministry, Residence Life, New Student Programs, and Project Excel.
