Retreats

"I don't always go on retreats, but when I do it's always CSA"
-The Most Interesting Man in the World

What is a CSA Retreat all about? 

A CSA Retreat is an AWESOME and packed weekend. There are talks about being Catholic with clear explanations of why we do what we do. So, if you're a little new or just out of practice with your faith, don't worry. We'll clue you in to everything we're doing and give you lots of chances to ask questions.

There's Mass, prayer, and small groups. You'll see some really funny skits. We also take time out for sports and games. There's quiet time for you to hang out by the water, or talk with friends, a campfire for making s'mores, and plenty of good food. Everybody likes something different about these retreats, but in all the years we've been doing them, we don't know of anyone who was sorry that they came!

Who can go on a CSA Retreat?

CSA Retreats are for college students (ages 18-24) from Rutgers or other colleges in the Central Jersey area.

How do I apply for a CSA Retreat?

The easiest way to sign up for retreat is to sign up and pay online with a credit card. Or you can download an application and drop it off with your payment at the front table of the Catholic Center. Registration forms and payment should be dropped off at the front desk of the Catholic Center.
