Senior Retreat

The Great Commission

Boxwoods Camp Cho-Yeh: April 8-9, 2025

In this culminating retreat for the young men of St. Thomas, the focus is Jesus’ final command to His Apostles, to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).

Students will reflect on their unique experience at St. Thomas, assessing where they have matured, and where they still have room to develop. They will be challenged by alumni, faculty, and administration to take their faith seriously and embody the Gospel message in their daily lives
