our spiritual focus...

SANYO is known for the creative and fun retreats they devise and implement. We office several retreat experiences each year. Our spring retreat is the retreat offered to all high school age students and is hosted off campus. We also have several link-ins (mini-retreats) held at the SANYO building. We offer these every few months to both our junior and senior group. Our mission for these retreat experiences is to not only encounter a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, but to be disciples and share the good news to all. "Pay it forward!"

   you should serve one another...(Gal 5:13)

SANYO offers many program designs of service. We are called to serve one another and live by that example. From sending cards to parish shut-ins to building medical facilities for the poor, we live a life of service.

*The service hours accumulated through the CYO & Youth Ministry projects can usually be applied to requirements of area Catholic high schools.
