The Jesuits host two retreats each year for SLUH alumni at the White House Retreat Center in South St. Louis County. Upcoming retreats include:
Mid-week retreat
November 26 (Monday evening) – November 29 (Thursday afternoon), 2007
Weekend retreat
January 3 (Thursday evening) – January 6 (Sunday afternoon), 2008
To make a reservation, contact the White House Retreat staff at (314) 533-8903, or by e-mail at reservations@whretreat.org.
The Pastoral Office also welcomes alumni who are interested in helping with student retreats to call for details. This can be a very rewarding way to volunteer at SLUH. Contact Mr. Matt Stewart '98 in the pastoral office at stewart@sluh.org. Please note: Prior to attending a retreat with SLUH students, alumni volunteers must complete the "Protecting God's Children" training from the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
Alumni Service Corps
The Alum Service Corps (ASC) is a program that offers a graduate of a Jesuit high school the opportunity to give a year of service as a full-time volunteer in a Jesuit high school. The program is a joint venture of the Jesuits of the Missouri Province and of the five participating high schools: Arrupe Jesuit High School (Denver); DeSmet Jesuit High School (St. Louis); Regis Jesuit High School (Denver); Rockhurst High School (Kansas City); and SLUH. Volunteers serve in collaboration with the other dedicated men and women who share a commitment to Jesuit education. ASC volunteers are challenged to be "men for others" by working in the ministry of Jesuit secondary education and by living in community with other ASC volunteers.
For further details on the program, visit the Missouri Province Web site or contact Sean Agniel (SLUH '96, ASC 2000-01), Director of ASC, at sagniel@jesuits-mis.org.
