A Week of Prayer and Peace: A Directed Retreat
With Kathy Irr and Deborah Notarianni
July 13 - 18, 2025
This directed retreat is designed for individuals seeking to deepen their prayer life, discern God’s will, or experience spiritual renewal. Offering a flexible and transformative journey, it is tailored to the unique needs of each participant, providing an opportunity to encounter God’s presence in a deeply personal way, whether you are new to prayer or have an established spiritual practice.
Check-in for the retreat begins at 4:30 PM, with the chance to settle into your room and familiarize yourself with the retreat center. Dinner will be served at 5:30 PM in the main house. Mass will be celebrated daily at 9:00 AM, and each participant will have the opportunity to meet daily with a Spiritual Director to deepen their spiritual journey. Meals will be taken in silence, fostering an atmosphere of prayerful contemplation and interior focus, while ample time will be provided for personal prayer, meditation, and spiritual renewal. The retreat will conclude on Friday at 1 PM.
