The Catholic Student Association hosts two retreats each school year. One is for only Mississippi State students and is held during the fall semester. The second retreat is during spring semester, and the MSU CSA joins along with all the colleges across the Jackson Diocese. (Yes, Ole Miss too. Suck it up; they're actually pretty okay.) to celebrate our similarities in faith.

The retreats consist of small group discussions, presentations given by team members, individual prayer time, an evening Rosary, Mass, and spare time with which you can enjoy the serenity of Tombigbee Park or generally make a fool of yourself in front of everyone by either one, flat foot jumping onto a bunk bed, option two, pretending you're a dolphin, option three sliding across the cabin floor on a series of mattresses or option four sliding/falling down a steep hill.
