Cardinal Gibbons purchased Short Journey Retreat Center, underscoring its commitment to the spiritual formation of its school community.
“Faith is an integral point of an average day at Cardinal Gibbons: mass in the mornings, prayer at the beginning of class, support from religious life at athletic and arts events, and retreats on weekends. It makes the high school experience so much more meaningful and increases fellowship between the peers and educators who make those faith-filled opportunities possible.”
