The retreat will begin on Friday with a 7:00 p.m. Conference, followed by the Rosary. The retreat will conclude Sunday with Mass and noon lunch.
Men of all ages and walks of life are invited to attend the retreat, led by Bishop Robert Finn.
The retreat will include reflections on the Plan of Life, the call to holiness, and our Divine Filiation.
Attendees are invited to embrace this time of rest, quiet, and renewal in the presence of Christ. The retreat aims to strengthen attendees’ intimacy with Jesus and renew their prayer in the daily life of the world.
Includes opportunities for confession, Holy Mass, silent times for prayer, adoration, and personal reflection. Throughout the weekend, participants will be encouraged to take part in the sacraments and quiet prayer, providing space to draw nearer to God.
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.

If the retreat you’re interested in is full, contact us to be put on a waiting list. A few double rooms are available upon request.

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