A Retreat can change a Life
A great change in my relationship to God took place during a retreat before my senior year of high school. In the quietness of the retreat, the newness of God loving me first, knowing me by name, choosing me as His child in Baptism brought forth a new response of awe and very personal love.

We are dedicated to telling of God the Father as Jesus did, enlivened by the dynamism of the Spirit. Personal attention, teamwork and joy characterize our mission and apostolic vision. The purpose of our retreats is to inspire a personal and generous love for Jesus Christ in each person who attends. Whether the retreat takes place at one of our Retreat Centers or we are invited to give a retreat in another location, each retreat experience includes prayer, presentations on faith, singing, sharing together, and activities appropriate to the age of the retreatants. Most often our retreats will include the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and/or the Sacrament of Penance as they are a vital part of our lives as Catholics and our relationship with Jesus.
