Silent Weekend Retreats

A Quiet Weekend Retreat is an opportunity to get away from the often hectic pace of everyday living; to relax and give undivided attention to the interests and concerns of one's life. It is a time to find those things a person longs for: healing, clarity, direction, hope, strength, peace, and God. Each Quiet Weekend Retreat includes group conferences, discussions, liturgies, and plenty of time for personal reflection and prayer in an atmosphere of silence. The retreats are open to anyone, regardless of faith or parish affiliation. Retreats designated "Men and Women" are open to both married couples and individuals.
