RETREATS
St. James Academy exists to pass on the Catholic faith to the next generation. As part of our curriculum, students are taken on an overnight retreat once a year with their class. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn more about our faith, practice prayer, and grow in community.
Students on retreat will be dismissed upon arrival back to St. James. This will be around 2:30pm. Students not on retreat will remain in school until 3:20pm.

NOVENA BEFOE RETREATS
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work may all be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I may love all that is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy. Amen.
