for a 5-Day Retreat

Many retreatants come seeking direction for a life decision that faces them; others desire simply to grow in their relationship with God.  Almost without exception, they leave having found the peace that only Jesus can give.  A one-on-one retreat with an experienced spiritual director is a privileged place to encounter God by way of the Spiritual Exercises. 

The 5-day retreat is specifically tailored to the needs of the individual retreatant, given what they are seeking, the desires of their heart and where the Lord is leading them.

This retreat is open to laity, religious, and priests. The retreat is Ignatian in style and includes exploration of the matters of the heart, daily hours of contemplation and meditation, daily meetings with a priest, and availability of reconciliation.  Mass is also celebrated daily, usually at 11:15 am.

The retreat begins on the afternoon of your arrival day and ends five full days later (e.g., Monday afternoon until Saturday afternoon).

Please note: It is also possible to make a private individual retreat without a Spiritual Director, if the retreatant prefers and if space at the retreat center permits.
