CAPTURE MY HEART WOMEN'S RETREAT
Originally presented at Franciscan University of Steubenville, this retreat has made its way to CCM-SEMO helping young women understand the beauty of the 'feminine genius' as coined by Pope John Paul II. This retreat is for all young women who want to discover the beauty of God's plan for them and the gift of being a daughter of God.
FAN THE FLAME MEN'S RETREAT
This retreat is basically the brother of the women's retreat. Making its debut in the spring, this retreat will help young men discover what it means to be a real man and son of God.
QUO VADIS
This is CCM's ongoing effort to proclaim that serving the Church is a worthy effort - that the Lord continues to call men and women of all ages to serve him with generous hearts. Quo Vadis is aimed at helping college students listen attentively to the voice of God echoing deep within their heart. We are intent on helping our students discover anew the joy inherent in serving God as a priest or religious. Quo Vadis usually consists of young men taking a trip to visit a seminary to see what discerning the priesthood looks like and young women journey to a convent to witness how discerning a call to the religious life is full of joy!

Pope John Paul II's presentation of the Church's teaching on the meaning of being human are vibrantly proclaimed and lived out here at CCM!
