COVID-19 Update

In light of the uncertainty brought by COVID-19, the OFFLINE Retreat will be different this year given the restrictions on in-person gatherings. We will make more frequent announcements in the fall in collaboration with the directives given by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Frequently asked questions

How long is this fast?
A whole month.

What social media platforms do I have to give up? 
ALL OF THEM! Facebook + Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tik Tok, Tumblr, Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.

What social media platforms CAN I use?
Text Message, YouTube. You can also get special permission if needed for school work.

How will you know that I don't use the apps? 
SIMPLE. When you register, you will let us know which platforms you use. Then, each week, you will send us a screenshot of your phone usage, which will show us what apps you used and we should see your social media apps at 0% usage. 

What are the challenges we have to do while we are fasting?
We are going to run some extra programming so that you are not at home bored out of your minds. We will run homework helper nights, open gym, Eucharistic Adoration, and movie night. You also will be issued some challenges involving liturgy and prayer.
