University Ministry
University Ministry creates a welcoming environment where all Regis University students can feel at home. Inspired by St. Ignatius Loyola and his companions, we journey with others to “find God in all things.” We work to cultivate intellectual curiosity, gratitude and servant leadership while glorifying God. University Ministry invites you to come as you are to explore issues of faith, spirituality and social justice.

Welcoming All Faiths
Regis University is proud of our Jesuit Catholic heritage and the Office of University Ministry is privileged to accompany our Catholic community in worship, fellowship, and other opportunities for growth and formation in the Catholic faith.
In addition, our Jesuit Catholic foundations call us to “find God in all things,” as well as to “cura personalis,” practices that invite us to honor and encourage the spiritual growth of all members of our community. Promoting interfaith dialogue, supporting opportunities for individuals to be nourished in their own traditions, and exploring how God calls each of us into relationship with the Divine and the world is an important part of our mission. University Ministry provides a variety of opportunities for students, faculty and staff to come together for prayer, conversation and exploration of various beliefs.
Retreats and Immersions
University Ministry provides a variety of retreat and immersion experiences throughout the year. From days of reflection to overnight retreats and week-long immersions, retreats offer the opportunity to disconnect from the busyness of college life and connect with the sacred, with others, and with self. With a variety of themes and focuses, University Ministry welcomes all students, of any or no spiritual/faith tradition, to “come away” for a while to rest, renew and re-center. Similarly, immersions encourage students to step away from the comfort and familiarity of the classroom to explore the connection between spirituality and justice, learning about and advocating for social and ecological justice.
UMin retreats and immersions are designed for Regis’ traditional undergraduate students. Some opportunities may be available for current graduate students (please read the descriptions). For non-traditional students and community members seeking retreats or spiritual formation opportunities, we suggest connecting with the Ignatian Spirituality Program here at Regis or Sacred Heart Jesuit Retreat House.
Oct. 2–3, 2026
A retreat for first-year traditional undergrad students, Connections is an opportunity to meet new people, forge relationships and reflect on your early experiences at Regis University. Focused on themes of transition and connection, participants hear stories from upper-class students, engage with peers in small-group discussions, reflect on their current journey, hopes and expectations and have plenty of time for rest and recreation. The retreat is reflective in nature but is not oriented toward any particular faith or spiritual tradition. Connections will be at Ponderosa Retreat Center in Larkspur, CO. Registration is available here.
Oct. 9–11, 2026
Rooted in Ignatian spirituality, the silent retreat offers current undergraduate and graduate students (must be comfortable holding space with traditional-aged undergrads) the opportunity for rest, prayer, reflection and connection with God and self. Spend a night away learning how God speaks to us in silence. Participants need not be Catholic but must be open to exploring their spiritual connection through Ignatian spiritual practice. The silent retreat is held at Sacred Heart Retreat Center in Sedalia, CO. Contact Dolores Martinez Hernandez (herna639@regis.edu) for more information.
Nov. 13–16, 2026
The Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) is the largest annual Catholic social justice gathering in the United States. It is an opportunity to learn, pray and advocate for justice and is a place for members of the Ignatian family (Jesuit institutions and larger church) to be empowered, re-energized, inspired, challenged and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked. Now in its 29th year, the Teach-In has a rich history rooted in honoring the Jesuits and their companions who were martyred in El Salvador in 1989. Every fall, University Ministry takes 10 Regis University students as delegates to participate at IFTJ in Washington, D.C. Participants commit to regular formation meetings in advance of the Teach-In to build community and to prepare talking points for advocacy day at Capitol Hill. Space is limited and priority is given to traditional undergraduate students, but current graduate students may apply. Contact Beth Brin (ebrin@regis.edu) for more information. Applications will be available at the end of August.
Feb. 28–March 6, 2027
Each spring, University Ministry accompanies students on a spring break immersion trip to Dolores Mission Parish and Homeboy Industries in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of East Los Angeles. Participants commit to regular meetings in advance of the trip to prepare for, process and synthesize this unique learning experience and explore how they are called to become agents of social change in community. Space is limited to 12 students, and priority is given to traditional undergraduates, though current graduate students (who are comfortable being in community with traditional-aged undergrads) may apply. Applications will be available in January.
March 12–14, 2027
The word Kairos means “God’s time,” and this retreat will help students explore and deepen their relationships with God, self and others. The retreat is Christian in nature, with the opportunity for Catholic sacraments available. All traditional undergraduate students who desire to explore questions of relationship with God, self and others, and are comfortable with Christian language and themes are welcome to join. While the retreat is similar to the Kairos retreat many students attended in high school, it focuses on the challenges and triumphs of young adulthood, with talks and activities specific to college students. Kairos at Regis will feel both familiar and unique! This year’s retreat will be held at Highlands Camp & Retreat Center in Allenspark, CO. Registration will be available in late January.
