3-Day Guided Introduction to a Directed Retreat (Retreat Flyer)

Ideal for persons who have not yet made a longer silent directed retreat and wish to “have a taste” of the experience. Retreatants will be assigned a trained spiritual director with whom to meet one-to-one each day, Thursday through Sunday. In addition, group presentations will be offered each evening to guide you in three prayer forms that are mainstays in Ignatian spirituality: praying with one’s graced history, imaginative gospel contemplation, and the Examen.

Eucharistic Liturgy is celebrated each day. Opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available by request.
