At times, each person needs time away from the busyness and hectic pace of life even if it is only for a day or overnight.  Jesus himself spent time in the desert in prayer with his Father. 

We have a few Self-Directed Retreat Guides (below) that you can use by yourself or as a small group of friends who want to taking time to be  silent and to  listen to the gentle whisper of God within you. 

If you are here with another person or others, it is most important to be present to God. Therefore, at the beginning of your retreat, please plan for certain times to be alone. Explain to your friends with you that you, as well as they, ought to allow as many occasions of  solitude as possible. 

Our chapel is also a great place to be in the presence of Jesus.  Organzied prayer times, mass, or discussion sessions can be arranged with the Director or amongst your group.

The Yoke

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus invites his followers to rest and a lighter load if they will come to him and learn from him “the unforced rhythms of grace.” Jesus' yoke is because he bears more of the load with us.    This retreat will allow you to journey from a place of weariness and the carrying of heavy burdens to a place of rest, lightness and release in and through Christ.

The Inscapable God

Using Psalm 139, this retreat will explore how God is more intimately involved us than you could ever imagine.  “O Lord, you have searched me and known me.....”   What does God’s love mean for each of us as his children?   Spend time in prayer and silence reflecting on this psalm and what it means in our daily life.
