This student-led weekend retreat is based on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus as the core mystery of Christian faith.  Each person brings their own lens to this saving mystery and how it relates to our own lives.  By bringing each person’s perspective into the conversation we can dig deeper into Christ’s role in our lives and explore our faith as its own an unfolding mystery.
