Guided Retreats
Guided Retreats are usually offered for six (6) days during the summer months. These retreats are for those who seek an extended time under the guidance of a retreat Spiritual Director with the opportunity for some input each day.
Each Guided Retreat begins with supper on the first day, involves daily talks and the celebration of the Eucharist daily. There is the opportunity for spiritual direction with members of the retreat team throughout the retreat and finish with lunch on the last day of the retreat.
Retreatants are able to attend as a Commuter, but living in during the entire retreat is strongly recommended so as to remain in the atmosphere of retreat.
