Come, rekindle your personal faith in these profound truths and welcome our Eucharistic Lord and King into your life as you never have before. This Retreat message is meant for all!

The Catholic Church teaches that “the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life” (Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, 11; CCC, 1324). The other Sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely, Christ Himself, our Pasch.” (CCC, 1324).

Retreat Talks include:
1. “The Eucharist as Foreshadowed in both the Old and New Testaments”
2. “The Church Fathers on Eucharistic Doctrine”
3. “Rekindling Eucharistic Amazement: The Saints and the Eucharist”
4. “The ‘Most Blessed’ of the Seven Sacraments”
5. “Eucharistic Miracles”

In-person at the Retreat House, the retreats include meditations by the retreat master, the sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation, extended opportunities for silence and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and other devotions.

Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House offers a sanctuary of prayer and recollection on a spacious acreage near Waverly. There are 50 single rooms, each with a private bath.  A few double rooms are available upon request.
