Frequently Asked Questions
about START Retreats


Find Your Direction!

Question: Do I have to be Catholic to attend a START Retreat?
Answer: Absolutely not! START Retreats are open to all students, regardless of faith tradition or denomination.

Question: What do we do on a START Retreat?
Answer: The START Retreat program was designed BY students, FOR students and combines a number of different activities, including talks, small group discussions, large group gatherings, entertainment, and prayer. Students who go on START Retreats want to deepen their faith lives and meet new people and that's what happens with much success! The food's good too.

Question: I've been on a retreat in high school. Why go on a START Retreat at Assumption?
Answer: For one, to meet new people. Secondly, you aren't the same person now that you were in high school. START Retreats give you a chance to reflect on your life and your faith as they are now.

Question: I keep hearing about START 2 - what is it?
Answer: Once you've gone on a START 1 Retreat, you can deepen your faith even more on a START 2 Retreat. It's a two-nighter, off-campus in a nice retreat house. We had a wonderful START 2 Retreat November 20-22, 2009 in Still River, MA. It was very well-received.

Question: I want to talk to some students who have been on a START Retreat before I decide to go - who can I contact?
Answer: The following students are more than willing to tell you more about START Retreats: Jon Bishop, '11, Hannah Brencher, '10 and Kelley McNutt, '12.

Question: How do I sign up for a START Retreat?
Answer: Registration forms can be found in the campus ministry office in the Hagan Campus Ministry office. Fill one out and then re-route it to Campus Ministry.

Question: Who is the contact person in Campus Ministry for the START Retreat program.
Answer: Br. Dinh oversees START 1. Stephanie McCaffrey oversees START 2 and the Senior Retreat.
