Junior Retreat 2025: Redeemed! 💚✝️ This year’s Junior Retreat invited our students into a powerful encounter with God’s mercy through the theme “Redeemed!” Centered on the Lord’s desire to renew and restore our hearts, the retreat offered a meaningful opportunity for reflection as we enter the Advent season—a time of hope, healing, and joyful expectation. Throughout the day, juniors participated in a dynamic mix of games, talks, small‑group discussions, Adoration, Confession, and Mass. Each element was designed to help students experience the fullness of God’s redeeming love in both engaging and prayerful ways. Student leaders and faculty shared heartfelt testimonies on God’s ability to transform our stories, reminding everyone that no part of our lives is beyond His grace. Small groups allowed students to unpack these messages more deeply, fostering connection, vulnerability, and support within their Chapelle sisterhood.  The retreat reached its spiritual height during Adoration and Confession, where students encountered the peace and freedom that flow from time spent with Christ. The closing Mass brought the community together in gratitude, sealing the day in prayer and unity. Junior Retreat continues to be a cherished part of the Chapelle faith experience, helping our students grow in confidence, trust, and spiritual maturity. As we journey through Advent, we pray that each student carries forward the truth of the day’s message: in every season and every circumstance, the Lord redeems and makes all things new.

Chapelle and Rummel Partner in Ministry to Lead Retreats Across the Community ✝️❤️ This year, the Campus Ministry Teams of Archbishop Chapelle High School and Archbishop Rummel High School continued a powerful tradition of faith in action by partnering to host retreats for several local grade schools. Together, our student ministers helped lead retreats at St. Therese Academy, St. Matthew the Apostle, and St. Philip Neri—bringing joy, witness, and the message of Christ to younger students across the community. Each retreat is thoughtfully planned through a collaboration between Chapelle’s Director of Campus Ministry, Emily Lannan, Rummel’s Campus Minister, and the partnering grade school. In the weeks leading up to each retreat, our campus ministers work closely with school leaders to choose a theme and design a day filled with meaningful content—complete with talks, testimonies, small groups, and interactive games. Before each retreat, the Chapelle and Rummel Campus Ministry Teams come together to prepare spiritually and practically. Students develop personal testimonies, plan activities, and pray intentionally for the younger students who will be attending. At the heart of this partnership is one shared mission: evangelization. Just as with our own retreats at Chapelle, our goal is to help make Jesus more known, loved, and served—not only in the grade schools we visit, but also within the hearts of the students who lead. Retreat ministry is transformative for our student leaders. Serving as witnesses deepens their faith, strengthens their confidence, and reminds them of the incredible impact they can have on the Church and the world. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with our brother school and to continue fostering a spirit of discipleship throughout the greater Catholic community. May God continue to bless the work of our Campus Ministry Teams.
