As Catholic educators, we are called to go beyond the lesson plans...
A strong sense of Catholic identity enables us to foster it in our students. This retreat for teachers in their 20s & 30s takes a closer look at "Jesus as teacher" with the understanding that strengthening a relationship with Christ enables teachers to fulfill their vocation more deeply. The retreat is designed to develop teachers professionally and personally.
During this 24-hour retreat on the beautiful grounds of Mundelein Seminary, you will have the time and space to reflect on the interdependence of faith and teaching. A team of young adult teachers will share how Catholic identity impacts their vocation. Take time to rejuvenate your spirit, reflect individually and with others, and renew your commitment to Catholic education!**
