Retreat opportunities are available for students at various time during the year.  Students are encouraged to pause from their busy schedules and to spend time drawing closer to God and others in their lives.  Retreats are student-led and include talks, small group discussions, times for reflection, prayer, time to relax with others, have fun, as well as grow in their faith.  All of our retreats, except for the Spring Retreat, are held at "100 Acres" in New Boston, NH.  This property is owned by the Monastic Community.

Freshman Escape—September18-19, 2009

This retreat assists first-year students to recognize and respond to particular needs that arise from the challenges of adjusting and transitioning to life as a Saint Anselm College student.  Upperclassmen serving on the retreat team share with the first-year students ways to adjust to college life, to make friends and to nurture their faith life.  This retreat allows students to meet other students who share the same values and desire to grow in their life with God.
