The Awakenings retreat program has become a favorite among Catholic college students across the country -- many calling it the best weekend of their college experience. This retreat allows the participant (the "Awakener") to discover and deepen their own personal relationship with Christ and build community with their fellow Awakeners. This student-led retreat includes small groups, talks by fellow students, and personal time for prayer and reflection. It is a great experience for anyone at any point in their faith journey and any stage of their collegiate career.  The retreat will be October 22nd - 24th at Camp Ondessonk. The cost of the retreat is $20, but please do not let money interfere in your attending the retreat. If the cost is a problem, please talk to Tim Taylor, or e-mail him at tim@siucnewman.org, and arrangements can be made. Deadline to sign up for the retreat is Monday, October 11th.
