Academy Students Prepare for His Coming

Advent Retreat

The Academy of Our Lady High School held its schoolwide Advent Retreat on December 7, 2011. Each grade level was assigned to a church away from the school for reflection, activity, and guest speaker sharing. Each retreat, special in its own way with its own theme and activities, centered on the preparation and acceptance of Christ this Advent season.

The Seniors reflected on the theme of “Got Christ”, which centered around Revelations 3:20. For the Seniors, Christ is knocking at their heart doors. According to Senior Jody Muna, this retreat allowed her to get closer to more people in her class. Advent Retreat “It was a time for us to come together and step up to help each other”, she also added that this was best Advent retreat for her compared to previous years. The Juniors and Sophomores centered their retreats preparing for Christmas, as they would prepare their homes for guests. Finally, the Freshmen, who experienced their first Academy retreat, truly experienced a “metanoia” while interacting with each other in a prayerful tone.

Advent RetreatAccording to Sister Oliva Benavente, theology teacher at the school, the students help plan their retreat which gives them a sense of ownership. Freshman Aolani Permalino summed the retreat up best by saying, “It was good to spend time with classmates and get to know each other. It was a peaceful experience and a time to get closer to God.”
