This silent retreat is based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and will provide you with a beautiful and quiet time to renew, reflect, and pray as we begin the New Year.

With a new year comes the opportunity to start afresh with in our spiritual life.  We will focus on reviewing the past year with the intention of seeing God's grace and activity present in our life.  Then, we can make a plan of life for the coming year with concrete ways of growing in prayer, virtue and grace in 2025.  With the help of Ignatian discernment principles, we will be equipped to see and overcome obstacles and to be docile to the Holy Spirit.

The retreat is steeped in Sacred Scripture and the Sacraments, and is a great opportunity to quiet the noise of day to day life and to rest in the presence of God.  Build up your relationship with the Lord; learn how to pray better; learn to listen to God speak in the quiet of your heart.
