The Take Hold Retreat is focused on the Salesian Standard. Through a series of student and adult talks, activities, service projects, and discussions students will break down this call to ‘live the Standard.’ Freshmen will retreat with their house.
THE SALESIAN STANDARD:On my honor as a Salesian Gentleman, I will take hold of the tradition of our patron, Saint Francis de Sales, by striving to see God in all things and learning to live each day well. I will recognize the dignity of all people, and support my Salesian brothers in word and deed. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions of those who do. I will conduct myself responsibly and honorably in all my actions as a Salesianum student, and seek to serve a world in need.
Salesianum School educates and develops the whole person based on the teaching of Saint Francis de Sales, whose spirituality can be summarized in “Live Jesus.” As an independent Catholic secondary school founded by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in 1903, Salesianum challenges young men through dynamic college preparatory and extracurricular programs to live as Salesian Gentlemen devoted to faith, community, and service.
