“My favorite part about the SM community is the retreats and the opportunities to lead retreats. I went on sophomore retreat last year and I was able to lead it in the spring. This was a really fun experience because I was able to lead my  friends and that not only strengthened my own relationship with God but it also strengthened my relationships with my friends. It was such a rewarding experience to get to lead my friends closer to God and watch them build their own relationships with God. It was really fun and I encourage everyone to go on retreats to experience that.”
