The kind of retreat you are looking for will depend on your own personal journey. At times we feel the need for quiet solitude -- giving ourselves a chance to hear God speaking to us. At other times we need conversation and reflection with others as a group:
  • Preached retreat: For larger groups, this retreat experience consists of several presentations centered on a specific theme: Morning Prayer, Eucharist, a healing service or reconciliation, and quiet time for reflection are included. The atmosphere of silence provides the time in which retreatants often gain insight and strength to deal with life's challenges and struggles.
  • Guided retreat: Smaller groups (five to ten persons) gather for a daily conference together, and then are on their own the remainder of the day.
  • Private retreat: For individuals looking for rest, solitude and private prayer with a quiet bedroom and meals. A minimum of two nights are required. Call or e-mail for availability.
