Retreats
Retreats are important moments to listen to God and hear the talks of priests, seminarians or religious. Retreats foster genuine discernment. In the midst of your busy lives, a retreat opportunity affords you time of silence and clarity that cannot be found in the world. Please take advantage of a retreat experience to ask God what He wants for your life - a retreat gives you such an opportunity.
To find out more about retreats near you, contact your Diocesan Vocation Director. If you are interested in a retreat with a religious community, secular institute, or society of apostolic life, these links may be helpful to you: Religious Life, Secular Institutes, or Societies of Apostolic Life.
