Retreats

A Pilgrimage with Mary - Mystic and Prophet
Available in week long or weekend format & as a one-day retreat

This retreat is about our call to imitate Mary, the Mother of Jesus, who was a beloved daughter, loving mother and faithful disciple. We reflect on Mary as she is revealed in Scripture and popular devotion, and probe her relationship with the Trinity. You also have opportunities to celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick, "desert time" and private sessions with a member of the retreat team.

Blessed Are You
Available in week long or weekend retreat format & as a day or evening of recollection

This retreat focuses on The Beatitudes & the Lord's Prayer. The conferences allow these two basic revelations of the Gospel Life to speak to each other and to us. The insights of St. Francis and St. Clare will be a part of the conferences, the liturgies and the prayer experiences of the retreat. The morning conferences and the homily at Mass provide most of the input. The afternoon conferences, after the first day, will be prayer experiences such as centering prayer, "Taize prayer around the cross" and a Celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
