Silent Weekend Retreats

Weekend Retreats provide an opportunity to get away from the often hectic pace of everyday living.  They afford a chance to relax and give undivided attention to the interests and concerns of one's spiritual life.  Each Quiet Weekend Retreat includes group conferences, time for personal reflection and prayer, and mass, 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.
