SILENT RETREATS FOR 2017

The following are the dates for Three-day Ignatian Individually Guided Silent Retreats for 2017.

There are daily meetings with the Spiritual Director, and we share daily in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

A Definition of Prayer from Richard Rohr

"Prayer is not primarily saying words or thinking thoughts. It is, rather, a stance. It is a way if living in the Presence. It is, further a way if living in awareness of the Presence, even enjoying the Presence. The full contemplative is not just aware of the presence, but trusts,allows and delights in it."
