General Kairos Information
▸Kairos is your time to be with yourself, God, and peers for three nights and four days at the Jesuit Retreat Center of the Sierras in Applegate, California.
▸Kairos is one way in which the Spirit works to unify the class, as you can tell with those who attended Kairos from the Class of 2018through your shared experience of faith and community.
▸Kairos is not mandatory - we hope you will choose to attend. There is no fee to attend Kairos.
▸Kairos is not a retreat where Catholicism is pushed or conversion is sought. All we ask is that you are open and honest with yourself, others, and the workings of God on the retreat.
▸As with all retreats, Kairos is an excused absence; it does not count against you in any way.
▸If you do not go on Junior Kairos, we have four more for your class next year. In the beginning of next year, I will talk to you about Kairos in your Senior Theology class.
▸Going on Junior Kairos does not guarantee you a spot on the Retreat Team or as a Kairos leader, but your odds of becoming a Kairos leader greatly increase the sooner you attend Kairos.
Why Should I Attend Kairos During Junior Year?
▸The final Kairos each year is for the Junior class - Junior Kairos provides continuity in our retreat program from year-to-year. We can take 48 juniors on the Kairos forJuniors.
▸The Juniors who go on the final Kairos of the year have no priority for Senior Retreat Team, Big Brothers, or Kairos leadership. The only guarantee is that 16 of the Juniorswho attend Kairos 140 will become leaders of Kairos 141 and 142.
