Friday, November 8The goal of the autumn faculty and staff retreat is to provide a time for individual and communal spiritual reflection and renewal, to deepen faculty and staff connections to one another and to the University’s Catholic, Holy Cross mission and identity, and to invite participants to reflect on and embrace their vital contributions to our shared mission.
The retreat takes place on the birthdate of Catholic social activist Dorothy Day, and will highlight themes of Catholic Social Teaching.
