Group 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 Silent 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.
Check-in is 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday. The first session begins at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, and the retreat ends after lunch on Sunday.
$240.00 for the weekend

Loving as God Loves
Fr. Ed Kinerk, S.J. & Paula Sapienza
Love consists in a mutual sharing between lover and beloved. We will reflect upon and pray with the concrete ways God shares God’s very self with two people trying to become one, one with God and one with one another. We will focus on God’s presence and grace in this most important instance of the coming of the Kingdom. This retreat will not be silent.
March 3-5 — Nam & Nữ
Chữa Lành Những Tổn Thương Cảm Xúc
Fr. Hanh Pham, S.J.
Có một khác biệt lớn giữa sự hiểu biết và thừa nhận tầm quan trọng của những tổn thương cảm xúc. Những vết sẹo cảm xúc thường ở lại rất lâu nơi mỗi người. Nó làm cản trở những phát triển về tình cảm, tâm lý và tâm linh nơi mỗi người. Từ đó, nó tạo ra những thái độ và thành kiến, dẫn đến những tức giận, hận thù, xung khắc và bạo lực liên miên giữa các cá nhân và giữa các nhóm. Khóa tĩnh tâm này là cơ hội để mọi người cùng đồng hành với nhau, để thấy mình không đơn độc trong đau khổ, và đặc biệt dưới sự hướng dẫn của Chúa Giêsu, vị lương y đầy từ tâm, sẽ giúp mọi người đối diện với những vết thương đã hoành hành trong tâm hồn của mình bao lâu nay để được chữa lành và để được tự do. Khóa tĩnh tâm sẽ do Lm. Phạm Đức Hạnh hướng dẫn và dành cho nam nữ từ 20 tuổi trở lên.
March 10-12 — Young Adults
Faith That Does Justice
Fr. Tom Cwik, S.J.
More than a slogan, we will examine how faith can sustain our work for justice. Christian understanding informs Catholic principles and social teaching. Various organizations and people of faith attempt to shape public policy according to Christian understanding and Catholic principles. How can prayer and faith sustain us in this work? How does faith propel us in political life, social movements, and policy-making? What is just policy? A just economy? A just ecology?
March 24-26 — Women
Forgive Us as We Forgive
Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C.
We pray for this grace every time we say the Our Father. We have experiences of both giving and receiving forgiveness. How might our living this gift of giving and receiving forgiveness impact our world today?
April 6-9 — Men & Women
Easter Triduum
Fr. Ed Kinerk, S.J.
The Easter Triduum offers the opportunity to come away and enter profoundly into the mysteries of Holy Week. In addition to the liturgies of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, there will be optional daily presentations. The retreat begins at 7:00 P.M. on Holy Thursday (5:30 P.M. dinner available for those who wish) and ends after breakfast on Easter Sunday. There is also an Easter Sunday Mass at 10:00 A.M. for those who wish to stay. Offering: $360.
April 14-16 — Men & Women
Cosmology
Fr. Ed Kinerk, S.J.
Modern physics is changing the perspective we have on the world and universe in which we dwell. Far from clashing with Revelation, science gives us a new and even more exciting context to understand Revelation and God’s plan for us. Presentations will include non-technical descriptions of modern cosmology, a deeper understanding of human freedom, and above all the importance of Christ in our universe and our lives.
This is not a silent retreat.
April 21-23 — Men & Women
Black Catholic Retreat:
Transformed by Christ’s Love: The Healing Power of Forgiveness

He will lead us in examining the healing power of Christ when we embrace forgiveness in order to move beyond our woundedness. Sponsored by the Office of Black Catholic Ministry of the Archdiocese of Denver, this retreat is open to all!
