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.
PLANNING YOUR PRIVATE RETREAT
PICK YOUR DATES

PRAY & REST
Make the conscious decision to disconnect from the outside world in order to more deeply connect with the Lord in the silence of your heart. Don’t plan too many activities on your retreat – in order to allow for the movement of the Holy Spirit.
GO TO MASS
Take advantage of the opportunity to attend Mass while on retreat. The chapel is available 24-hours a day. You will receive a schedule with Mass, confession, and adoration times for your retreat.
SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
If you would like to receive spiritual direction, you can let us know at the time you request your dates. In addition to general spiritual direction, retreatants can schedule a private directed Ignatian retreat of a length of their choosing, subject to the availability of directors.
