Spiritual Growth

“Prayer is a surge of the heart, it is a simple look towards Heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.”

~St. Therese of Lisieux~

Eucharist

Bible Studies

Our Campus Outreach Team leads Bible studies all throughout the week. This is a great way to connect with other students, grow in your faith, and learn all about God's plan for your life. 

Retreats

Life can get crazy busy, especially for a college student! There is the rigor of classes, the time commitment that comes with sports/extracurriculars, family responsibilities, and also trying to find time for a social life. In the midst of all this hustle and bustle, it can be easy to move our relationship with God to the back-burner and put off prayer. To help deter this from happening, St. Teresa of Avila offers two weekend-long student retreats, one in the fall semester and another in the spring semester! It is a time filled with prayer, reflection, spending time with friends, sharing some meals, and relaxing.
FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) is an affiliate organization with St. Teresa, with four full-time missionaries here leading Bible studies, small groups, and helping to instill a culture of discipleship. In addition to these retreats, we also bring a group of students to a conference hosted by FOCUS, usually in the first week of January. These conferences draw thousands of college students from across the country, and even some countries outside the US, for prayer/the celebration of the sacraments, spectacular keynote addresses from well-known Catholic speakers, and breakout sessions.
