Retreat Schedule
This Ignatian Silent Retreat will have presentations about the many ways that Jesus took flesh in the lives of others.
In these days of prayer, retreatants will be encouraged to spend time in imaginative contemplations of how Jesus came that we may have life
We will spend a day with the German mystic Meister Eckhart.
In his sermons and writings, he meditates on the immediate presence of God in the human soul. Eckhart particularly likes to stimulate our imagination by using metaphors.
A retreat for religious Sisters.
We will draw from the book, Jesus: A Pilgrimage by Fr. James Martin, SJ. We will follow the life of Jesus from the Annunciation to the Resurrection.
A retreat for women.
Join us for a transformative weekend retreat, where women of all ages are invited to find peace and resilience in life’s storms.
During this retreat, Fr Joe will invite us to reflect on Jesus as the image of the invisible God in our world today through the Sacraments, the beauty of the world around us, and how we, the Church which Jesus established, can be what we are: the image of Jesus to others.

This retreat for fathers and their sons, ages 11–17, provides opportunities for open communication and mutual learning between fathers and their adolescent sons...along with Mass and a traditional blessing of the sons. This fun weekend will include, weather permitting, dodgeball competition, water balloon toss, and a hayrack ride.
Every Catholic at some point during the Mass has probably asked, “Why do we do that?” or “What does that mean?”
Every word, gesture, object, sign, and symbol of the Mass is imbued with rich meaning and yet so much of it has been forgotten or is unknown to the average Mass-goer.
