Women's Retreat
This will be a weekend where women students will be able to look at their issues in a modern and spiritual context. It is an excellent chance for young women from accross campus to relax, get to know each other, and experience good company and discussion!
Men's Hike & Outdoor Reflection
This is an opportunity for young men to reflect, both as individuals and as a group, while exploring the landscape and nature. Beginning at the University Chapel, the hike and reflection continues to atop Sugarloaf - the highest elevation in Antigonish County.
Men's Retreat
This retreat is a chance for young men from accross campus to become active and engaged in their thoughts, perception, and understanding of contemporary issues and challenges faced in self and faith. Many dimensions or beliefs, morality and social issues are explored and discussed - with many opportunities for reflection and community-buidling activities.
Graduate Retreat
What are your hops and fears about the future? This will be a time where senior students will be able to reflect upon their experience at X and to think about what come after university life.
Study Retreat
Sometimes, the hub activity that is the StFX Campus can be distracting and stressful, especially during the rigorous term exam periods. Why not escape to Bethany Centre - a retreat area at the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Martha, just a few minutes away from campus - to study, focus, and have a few moments of relaxing and enjoyable breaks!
