This article presents school retreats as a major element of evangelization conducted by the Church. The retreats addressed at children and teenagers at school must be seen in a wider perspective of the extraordinary pastoral activity of the Church, often realized in various forms of retreats. The authors of the article discuss the genesis and the growth of the tradition of school retreats in Polish catechetical teaching. These twenty years of tradition brought enormous experience in realizing the Lent retreats for children and teenagers. Analysing the literature of the field, the authors were able to distinguish between a number of types and models of retreats, which constantly evolve.

School retreats constitute an unusual form of preaching the Gospel by the Church. They are organised for children and teenagers catechized at one school in order to enrich their Christian lives. In the school organisation plan, retreats have to be included in its basic document, i.e. comprehensive educational plan. Therefore, the headmaster should feel obliged to undertake actions related to their organisation. The new school management system provides numerous possibilities to prepare strategic plans and this way, include the retreats into the programme of school work. The actions such as: determining the nature of retreats in the school statute, including them in the school proactive plans (personal development and prevention programmes) as well as organising pedagogue teams and cooperating with the institution of Church are laborious, time-consuming and difficult for the headmaster. However, they may bring measurable benefits such as; raising the level of school work, reducing or eliminating improper behaviours of children and teenagers, supplementing the didactic process, fulfilling the core curriculum as well as engaging the pupils by various practical forms of retreats.

As part of the symposium entitled “School Religious Retreats and Contemporary Forms of Transmission of Faith,” held at KUL JP II on 21-22 January 2013, a presentation was delivered by the youth from the Nicolas Copernicus Secondary School no. 9 in Lublin. X The presentation was entitled “Retreats the Way I would like them to be.” The author of this article reports on the open round-up of the debate that the youth had participated in their religion classroom before the symposium. The debate gathered nine groups of students, and was conducted with the use of metaplan. The structure of this method also allowed a clear definition of the particular stages in which the youth presented their response to the following questions: How do the youth truly assess the organization and conduct of school religious retreats? (What is the status quo?); What should the retreats look like? (Prognosis); What are the reasons for why the retreats are not what they are expected to be? In the round-up session, the participants got acquainted with the conclusions and postulates formulated by the youth as regards the steps to be taken to make the school religious retreats match the assumptions of the organizers and the expectations of the young participants.

As part of the symposium entitled “School Religious Retreats and Contemporary Forms of Transmission of Faith,” held at KUL JP II on 21-22 January 2013, a panel debate was held, devoted to evangelization in the global world of the media. The panellists – Fr. Zbigniew Paweł Maciejewski, Fr. Artur Godnarski, Fr. Tadeusz Zasępa, Fr. Jarosław Woźniak, Fr. Witold Kawecki and Jacek Kurzępa – undertook two main threads that dominated over the rest of the issues mentioned and signalled by the panellists and the other participants of the panel: 1. The role of school retreats in the process of catechization and evangelization; the need of shaping the evangelizing and kerygmatic mentality of the preachers of the Word of God. 2. The medial culture and the world of the media as an explicit challenge for evangelization – represented in part by school retreats. This text is an abbreviated script of the debate in question.
