Days of Recollection

Freshman Retreat – A Freshman Day of Recollection on Real Presence

Our newest Lancers are invited to embrace the Real Presence of Jesus so we can experience grace and be present to others as His people. We need self-knowledge and openness to how the Holy Spirit presents ways to create friendships and minister to others. Yet, in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be difficult to find time for reflection, connection, and to feel a sense of belonging.

So, this Freshmen day of Recollection will offer Lancers in the class of 2028 the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and their peers so they can experience deep and authentic relationships and be a real presence on campus over the next four years. From this day of recollection they will come to know that they are loved, welcomed, known, and belong at Salpointe Catholic High School.

The Freshmen Day of Recollection will be on Saturday, November 16th, from 9:00am to 5:00pm on the Salpointe Catholic campus. The Registration deadline is Friday, October 18th.

Sophomore Retreat – Servant Leadership

Servant Leadership is at the heart of this day-long retreat. After celebrating Mass at school, students break into smaller groups to tackle service projects on campus and in local neighborhoods. Students practice taking the Lancer challenge to “take care of each other” beyond their classroom into the local community.

Service Learning

When Jesus finished washing the feet of his disciples, he returned to his place and addressed them… “Do you understand what I have done for you? … I have set you an example … As I have done, you must do the same.”

As part of the mission of Salpointe to inspire a life of leadership and service to others, all students are expected to complete annual community service hours. The Service Program is designed to weave service into each student’s high school experience in hopes of inspiring a lifetime of serving others.
