Winter Retreat 2026

2026 Theme:  "Made for More… So Why Do We Settle?"

"Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine..." - Ephesians 3:20

All students (undegraduate and graduate) are invited to enjoy a weekend away to prepare for the new semester!  You can attend each year, as the theme changes. 

We will have all the standard retreat luxuries: Mass, Adoration, Confessions, Spiritual Direction,  and all meals are included with your fee.   On top of that, we will have: 

• Talks on Theology of the Body given by Fr. Thomas Esposito O.Cist, Sr. John Thomas Armour O.P., Dr. Sarah Berry and Dr. Kevin Kambo!
• Accommodations at a newly-renovated retreat center (read: you get your own bed with linens + a cozy living room to chill in)
• An actual Catholic chapel with Jesus exposed in the Eucharist for you to adore whenever you want
• Designated times for Grand Silence so you can pray + contemplate on what the Lord is saying to you
• A social on Friday night with local priests, religious, and consecrated!
• A completely transparent schedule so you can know what to expect, make plans for personal prayer + rest, and take naps whenever you want to. 

While this retreat is valued at around $300 per person, the cost to join is only $40 per person. This is non-refundable and your spot is not secured until you make the deposit. The preferred method of payment is online.  . However, you may pay your fee in cash or check in the Office of Campus Ministry located in SB Hall on the 2nd floor at the end of the hall (254).

If cost is prohibiting you from signing up for the retreat, Contact Deacon Ryan via email at rsales@udallas.edu or visit him in the office to talk about potential scholarships. 

We hope to see you there!
