Don Bosco Tarlac places great emphasis on spiritual formation through retreats and recollections, deeply rooted in the Salesian tradition of nurturing the soul alongside the mind. Here’s a glimpse into how these experiences unfold:
Purpose and Spirit
- Salesian Spirituality: Inspired by St. John Bosco’s motto, “Give me souls, take away the rest,” these activities aim to deepen students’ relationship with God, foster personal growth, and cultivate a sense of community.
- Faith Formation: Students are encouraged to participate in Eucharistic celebrations, receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation regularly, and develop devotion to Mary and the Church.
Student Reflections
Many students describe their retreat experiences as transformative—filled with joy, introspection, and a renewed sense of purpose. Even when plans like bonfires are disrupted by rain, the spirit of the retreat remains strong through spontaneous activities and heartfelt sharing.
