RETREATS

Freshman Retreat

Our Freshman Retreat is a one-day experience held right here at the Catholic Center. It’s a chance for incoming SMU students to meet new friends and get to know our Catholic community on campus.

You’ll hear a few talks, build friendships in small groups, and encounter Christ through fun activities at “the C.”

Details for the 2025 retreat are coming soon. We can’t wait to meet you!

Mustang Awakening

Mustang Awakening is a student-led retreat where you have the chance to step back from the stresses of college life, connect with God, and build meaningful friendships. Open to all SMU undergraduates, this weekend is packed with talks, activities, and opportunities to grow deeper in faith.

Mustang Awakening 18 - Fall 2025: Join us for our biggest retreat of the year! We are heading to the Pines Catholic Camp in Big Sandy, TX on November 14th-16th.

Registration coming soon.

Ranch Retreat

Our annual Ranch Retreat is a chance to get away, relax in God’s beautiful creation, and rest your soul. It’s a weekend to grow in faith, build real friendships, and enjoy good company in the peace of the outdoors.

Keep an eye out for more details and registration for our Spring 2026 retreat.

Senior Retreat

For our seniors whose time at SMU is coming to a close, we invite you to join us for Senior Retreat. It’s a chance to slow down, spend time with the Lord, and reflect on all He’s done in your life as you look ahead to what’s next.

We’ll share a few short talks, spend time in prayer, and relax together by the lake.

More details will be shared in Spring 2026.
