Spiritual Life
Gwynedd Mercy University’s Campus Ministry offers a variety of retreats and faith-sharing opportunities throughout the year to support the spiritual development of the entire GMercyU community.
Our goal is to help the GMercyU community pause to engage questions of significance, and to pray and reflect on your personal experiences in the pursuit of lives of deep meaning.

Breakthrough Retreat at the Shore
February 2-4, 2018
Break through the murky, the mundane and the mayhem and come away for an awesome weekend retreat sponsored by Campus Ministry and facilitated by a team of student leaders. Come reflect on your life in the company of old friends and new. There will be times for reflection, conversation, and prayer, as well as fun activities and free time! The retreat will be held at the Sisters of Mercy's retreat house one block from the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ. Get your application here (PDF) and return it to Campus Ministry by January 25. Questions? Michelle France, france.m@gmercyu.edu or 215-641-5531.
