SILENT DIRECTED RETREAT: “INVITING GOD INTO YOUR BOAT OF LIFE”

Join us for a transformative retreat centered around a single purpose: to welcome God into the boat of our lives. Together, we will explore how to invite His presence into our storms, our moments of calm, our questions, our hopes, and the journeys that lie ahead. As Hebrews 6:19 reminds us, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Just as Jesus stepped into the boat with His disciples, He invites us to anchor ourselves in His promises, bringing peace, direction, and His unwavering presence into our everyday experiences. This retreat fosters solitude, prayer, rest, and renewal. Each day you will have the opportunity to meet with a trained spiritual director, participate in liturgy, and explore our art room. Additional optional prayer experiences will be offered in the afternoons. Come and embark on this meaningful journey of faith and discovery!
