TOLKIEN RETREAT

J.R.R. Tolkien is known for writing The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but he was also a devout Catholic husband and father of four. This retreat for current and future Catholic dads will focus on three letters that
Tolkien wrote to his son Michael, offering time for reflection, discussion, and prayer about what it means and how to be a Catholic father today.
Mass, Adoration, and an opportunity for Confession will be included in the day's schedule.
Cost of the day is $30.

Ignatian Silent Retreat

For men and women

This silent Ignatian retreat is built around the elements of Lectio Divina and the Examen prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The Examen is a technique of prayerful reflection on the events your day in order to discern God’s direction for you. On this retreat, you will review your life from a prayerful, God-Centered perspective.
