A Day of Solitude

“Rising very early before dawn, He left and went off to a deserted place, where He prayed.” Mark 1:35 

In a world filled with chaos and noise, it’s easy for earthly concerns to take center stage in your life. Yet, in times of struggle, it becomes even more important for you to quiet your mind and seek the solitude that Jesus often turned to for comfort and reflection.

Join us on Enders Island for A Day of Solitude. Step away from your busy life to pray, reconnect with your faith, and grow closer to God in the peaceful seclusion that the island provides. During your time here, you will have the opportunity to meet with a spiritual director, attend daily Mass, pray in our chapels, and walk the beautiful grounds. Experience the serenity that comes when you step away from the noise and enter into undisturbed, prayerful meditation.

Your retreat will begin with daily Mass at 9 AM, followed by check-in at 10 AM in St. Michael’s Hall. During registration, you will be able to sign up for a session of spiritual direction before settling into your room. Afterward, you’ll have the rest of the day to pray, walk the grounds, meditate, journal, or read. Meals will be provided in silence, maintaining the quiet and peaceful spirit throughout your stay. The retreat will conclude the following day after lunch.

We hope you’ll join us this Lent as you unite your life with Jesus, encountering the solitude needed to restore your spirit, renew your mind, and quiet your heart to hear the voice of God.
