Retreats
In Mark 6, Jesus tells his apostles to “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” Retreats offer an opportunity to do just that--take a break from the hectic pace of life to connect with Jesus, yourself, and your community. The Ragin' Cajun Catholics offer a number of retreats throughout the year. Dates and registration links are available below or contact Mat Ardoin, Campus Minister for more information.

Greek Retreat
Run by Greeks and for Greeks, Our Lady of Wisdom hosts its annual spring retreat exclusively for Greeks! The weekend is designed to encounter the Faith in both a personal way and communal way within your Greek chapter. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience authentic sisterhood and brotherhood through talks, prayer, fellowship, the sacraments, and fun!
