Personal Retreats

"Silence exists so that we might speak to God. And it is in silence that God communicates his graces to us." - St. Vincent de Paul

A retreat gives an individual time away from their everyday routines and the noise of the the world. People take retreats for many reasons. Some of them are: ​

  • Rest from the hectic pace of the world

  • Quiet in order to be with and listen better to God

  • Discernment regarding situations and important decisions

  • Reading, study, or writing

  • Seek God’s healing graces

Personal retreats are scheduled as availability permits and are generally scheduled during the week – Tuesday through Thursday – and not over the weekend. Weekends are generally reserved for groups. Inquire about weekend availability for personal retreats.

Overnight Personal Retreats

Personal overnight retreats are scheduled as availability permits and are generally scheduled during the week – Tuesday through Thursday – and not over the weekend. Weekends are generally reserved for groups. Inquire about weekend availability for personal retreats.

Retreatants are welcome to bring their own materials. We also have self-directed retreat books available for purchase:

  • In Mary's Footsteps: You will be reflecting on key times in Christ’s life; the Crucifixion, His Resurrection, and Pentecost, all from a Marian perspective. Reflect on Easter through Mary’s eyes.  Allow Mary to lead you to her Son, Jesus, and experience Christ in our sacred spaces.

  • “This Is My Body” A Eucharistic Retreat: You will be reflecting on the Eucharist in Scripture, devotion to the Eucharist in the Church, and your own relationship with the Blessed Sacrament. Explore the Eucharist in the Old and New Testaments. Learn how Holy Communion transformed Saints and martyrs.

  • Not Made For This World:  You will be reflecting on who you are as a child of God, what God made you for, and your journey to heaven. Throughout the retreat you will examine your life and how the Lord is working in you. Learn what it means to be on the path of discipleship. Reflect on the Kingdom of Heaven in Sacred Scriptures. Pray about your personal journey to heaven.
