The business of academic life at Duke begs for a counterpart, something to balance out the hyper-focused study. For Duke Catholic students, retreats play a vital role in providing a much-needed break from academics and the space to reflect, not just on their life at Duke, but on their relationship with God.

Fall Semester Retreats

Ignite

Join us in the fall semester for our Ignite retreat at the beach! Great for first-year students (and open to all!), the Ignite retreat is a wonderful opportunity to meet and grow in relationships with other Catholic students at Duke.

Beyond budding friendships, Ignite also introduces students to and gives them a taste of the abundance of Catholic opportunities on campus, such as small groups, adoration, music ministry, confession, and more.

This retreat happens each fall semester, usually in early September.
