Jesuit Facts

St Ignatius defines consolation as a spiritual, inner dynamic or movement that leads to an increase of trust, hope and love, a strengthening of the interior person, interior joy, peace and quiet, an invitation and attraction to what is good, and a greater solidarity with others.

Freshman Retreat

Developed at St Paul's High School in 2002, this retreat is based on a program that has been used in Jesuit schools across the United States for decades. It takes place in December, and is designed to give Grade 9 students an opportunity to grow more comfortable as members of the high school community, to make new friends, and to develop a sense of their importance as Crusaders. The retreat is planned and led by senior students.
