A retreat is a personal encounter with God through a balance of communal prayer, inspirational talks, silence, sometimes laughter and natural beauty and sacramental grace. This sacred time brings renewal for your body, mind and spirit.

Our Parish offers retreats onsite a few times throughout the year. For more information, contact the Parish Office.

Fr. Joseph Jablonski, MSC shares... 

Before birth, a baby already distinguishes the sound of his or her mother’s voice. After birth, when the world becomes a much bigger place, a mother’s voice and the sound of her heart-beat will bring comfort and security to her child as he or she enters a whole new life experience.
 
Recognizing the voice of the Lord and being close enough to him to hear his heart-beat is how we find our way through the new and challenging experiences of life. Just as a child has spent many months quietly listening in the loving presence of its mother, so we are called to give time to listen to the voice of the Lord spoken in the apparent silence of our hearts.
 
When we take time to listen, if even just to our own breathing and heart-beat, we become aware of God who is giving us life at each moment. God, who is lovingly sustaining us and believing in us, will speak. By listening carefully and constantly, we will know where to go, what to do, and have the courage to face any challenge because we will know that he is with us.

Do you need time away to quietly listen to God?
