Men's and Women's Retreats provide a space for beautiful freedom of encounter with God and one another. Students gain a deeper understanding of their faith community and opportunities on campus as they launch into the social and academic demands of the new semester, forming lasting friendships across classes and majors.
Women's Retreat
What's your story? This year at Carroll's Women's Retreat, over 50 students and another dozen alumni, missionaries, and staff came together in an unforgettable weekend of play, prayer and friendship to share our stories, learn the stories of women from throughout scripture, and recognize how each of our lives is intertwined with the life and story of Jesus Christ.
The weekend included mass and Q&A with Fr. Tyler visiting from the nearby men's retreat, many peaceful moments of reflective talks by the fire and conversations with new and old friends, not to mention some full-contact Super Happy Fun Ball in the snow, epic inner-tube runs, and spontaneous dance parties.
Men's Retreat
This year’s Men’s Retreat was very powerful—just as it always is. It remains one of our most beloved and highly anticipated retreats. Forty-five young men joined us for a weekend packed with brotherhood, adventure, prayer, inspiring talks, meaningful small group discussions, snowy mountain climbs, bonfires, burritos, hammerschlagen, and classic rugged fun—like playing volleyball with giant inflatable exercise balls. The Lord was drawing the hearts of his sons to rest in his own sacred heart. God is so good, and the Swan Valley of northwestern Montana is such a wonderful place to encounter Him.
"It was a blessing to have real conversation about my faith with the fellow men in my community," shared sophomore, Matt Golik, from Lewistown, MT.
