WHAT IS A PRIVATE RETREAT?

A personal, private retreat helps you recharge your soul in quiet and solitude, along with opportunities for Mass, confession, adoration and spiritual direction. There is no formal schedule, theme, or topic, except for what you decide as led by the Holy Spirit. Take time to read, meditate on Sacred Scripture, and pray devotions of your own choosing. Private retreats include a single room with private bathroom and meals available, in addition to 24-hour access to the chapel.

Plan a schedule that is right for you and your goals. Decide on a regular set of prayers for each day, including time for quiet meditation. Dedicate times for reading, rest, and exercise as well. Plan to spend time outdoors walking or resting in our prayer gardens

Follow the schedule you have set in order to enter deeply into prayer and communion with our Lord. We especially recommend the practices of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola
