L.I.F.T.: Spiritual Retreats
Lasallians in Faith Together, or the L.I.F.T. Program, is CMSA’s new vision of the retreat program, encompassing all retreats offered both on and off campus.
Each retreat is unique and full of the grace and love of God. We welcome people of all faith backgrounds and experiences. Joy, love, laughter, goodness, faith, healing, wisdom, friendship (and food!) are among the many blessings we have all received on retreats.
All retreats occur in a quiet, relaxing location—perfect for reflection and contemplation—all while meeting new friends who share your interests. Come join us for an unforgettable retreat experience! All are welcome!
