Annual Alumni Seaside Weekend Retreat

Villa Maria del Mar
Santa Cruz, California

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Alumni Seaside Weekend Retreat has been canceled this year.   Please mark your calendar for the weekend of March 6-8, 2009 for the 2009 Alumni Seaside Weekend Retreat.


In the fall of 1991, the Alumni Association began presenting retreats in a format adapted from The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Join us at an oceanside retreat with SCU Jesuits and other speakers. Contact the Alumni Office at AlumUpdate@scu.edu or 408-554-6800 for further details.



Days of Reflection


The Alumni Association also presents days of reflection, usually based around the liturgical year, such as our Advent Afternoon of Reflection or our Lenten Afternoon of Reflection.
