Withdraw from the Busyness of Life

Retreats are a time to withdraw from the busyness of life so we can reflect on and deepen our relationship with God. Our retreats call for receptivity to the movements of the Spirit and are adapted to the needs of each individual. Use this time for rest, prayer, discernment and/or reflection. We look forward to welcoming you with mercy hospitality!
