Retreats and Pilgrimages

Coloma has created new links with the De La Salle Community and pupils are being given the opportunity to attend residential retreats at St Cassian’s in Kintbury.

The 2023-2024 retreats at St Cassian’s, Kintbury, for each year group are as follows:”

Year 11 – 18-21st January 2024

Year 10 – 2nd-5th May 2024

Year 9 – 9th-12th May 2024

Our Year 7 & 8 students have each had a day retreat in school this year facilitated by our School Chaplain and their class teachers.  Year 7 focused on the theme of “They shared their story” from Luke 24:35 whilst Year 8’s theme was “God’s work of art” (Ephesians).  Students took part in activities which helped them to reflect on themselves and their relationship with God, their school community and the world around them.  Each day included a time of prayer in the school chapel as well as time exploring and appreciating the school grounds.  Sr Annette DMJ joined the Year 8 retreat and spoke to the students about the work of the DMJ Sisters around the world.
