Why Retreat 2020 View the Retreat Schedules
Things our retreatants say:
- The liturgies were inspirational and the homilies added more meaning. I’m so impressed by how down-to-earth father Jim and Brother Bob are as they relate to us
- The time here has been healing. Truly my spirit gives thanks to our God for this time
- The retreat conferences were excellent. So much food for thought and nourishment for the soul. Lots to take into prayer and on my daily faith walk.
- The blend of scheduled time to free time is just right. It allows me to reflect, refresh and recharge my soul to put a little bounce in my step!
