Take time to explore the many colors of grief. Whether through death or a life event grief is felt in many ways. Together we will look at the commonalities we all share in grief as well examine where in scripture Jesus experiences grief Himself or shares in the grief of another.
This week will give room for times of quiet reflection, shared prayer, and a sharing of our grief journey.

A guided retreat is a time for spiritual renewal, offering space for prayer, reflection, and community. Each day includes Mass at 9 AM, time for personal reflection, and opportunities for confession. Two daily conferences provide inspiring talks and guidance to deepen your relationship with God. The retreat also encourages meaningful interactions and shared experiences, creating a supportive and enriching atmosphere for spiritual growth.

Check-in for the retreat begins at 4:30 PM. Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to settle into your room and familiarize yourself with the retreat center. Dinner will be served at 5:30 PM in the main house.

Take this opportunity to get away from the noise and routine of everyday life.

Let the Holy Spirit inspire and renew you.
