God’s time. A time to discover who you are. And a time to build your faith. 

Kairos is a huge mystery to the ones who have never been on it. There is not a lot of information on who goes, what happens, or who your leader is. The anticipation killed me for years. 

“You have to go on Kairos! It’s life changing!” everyone said. But why? What happened in those four days that could make people come home so much different? I finally learned that I had to attend to know exactly what went on. 

After four days at a retreat center, my smile is a little bigger, my friendships are stronger and my love is greater. I can now say that Kairos does in fact live up to the hype and so much more. Although I cannot share exactly what happened at Cabrini retreat center, everyone I know speaks very highly of it.  

“Everyone should go on Kairos because it gives you the chance to reflect on your own life while also giving you a perspective about the lives of the ones around you,” said Anna McCormick, K255. 

“You should go on Kairos because it gives you a chance to build relationships with people you would never get a chance to talk to. And it shows you who you are as a person and helps you find a connection with God,” said Sara Papke, K255. 

Kairos is what you make of it. If you want a spiritual experience, you’ll get one. If you just want three days off school, you’ll get that. I am so blessed to have met amazing people on K255, and I hope other people take advantage of the opportunity given to them. Thank you Kairos, for making me a better person.
