Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola

This weekend retreat is steeped in Scripture and the Sacraments, and is a great opportunity to quiet the noise of day to day life, and rest in the presence of God. Build up your relationship with the Lord. Learn how to pray better, and learn to listen to God speak in the quiet of our hearts.



Healing Retreat

Jesus asked the man at the pool of Bethesda and asks each of us, "Do you want to be healed?" (John 5:6). A healing retreat is an opportunity to ask God for healing through Mass, a Eucharistic Adoration encounter with the Lord, Confession, talks, meeting with a licensed practicing counselor, and more.



Marian Devotion Retreat

Roughly 33 days prior to the day of Consecration, spend the weekend learning who Mary is, what it means to be consecrated to Jesus through Mary, and how to pray with Mary. Learn how Mary can bring us closer to Jesus through consecration.



24hr Evangelization Retreats

This newly developed retreat is for those who are constantly on the go but still need to be renewed in their faith and energized in their work of evangelization.  Jesus said: "I have come to set the world on fire" (Lk 14:29) and this high octane retreat will rekindle that fire in you. 



Marriage Retreat

Grow deeper in a relationship with your spouse, enjoy a date weekend getaway, and let God renew your marriage.

"So they are no longer two but one flesh" Matthew 19:6.

This retreat offers tools based on the Theology of the Body for discovering your spouse anew, the opportunity to meet with a marriage counselor, time spent together in Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, and even a romantic evening dinner and dancing! The pace is very slow so you have plenty of time to spend with each other. This is not necessarily a retreat for marriages in crisis, and can help every couple no matter where you are at.


“Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while.” (Mark 6:31)

The Lord Jesus left the clamoring crowds and even his own apostles and turned to his Father in silence to teach us by example that there are times in our lives when we need to listen to the voice of God in silence who says, "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). Retreat from life and come away to experience the loving presence of your God.

SILENT RETREATS

OLCC's Silent Retreats include Healing Retreats, Spiritual Exercises Retreats, Marian Devotion. These retreats offer a calm and peaceful vacation from the chaos of everyday life, providing time and space to experience the person of Jesus through Scripture and the Sacraments.

Everything is geared toward an encounter with the One who speaks his Word in silence.  The accommodations are private, hotel-style rooms with private bath. The retreatants are given ample time for sleep. Unlike some very active retreats, they will not need a period of time to recover after the weekend. They are served sumptuous meals and snacks are available.
