Parish Events Calendar
This short retreat is grounded in key Gospel texts and based on St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises. Participants are led in a gentle and creative way to experience and deepen their relationship with God. The retreat has a clear program and structure to encourage and direct daily prayer. A commitment of 25 – 45 minutes of daily prayer, four days a week, followed up by Sunday Eucharist is required over four weeks. The cost is $30 which includes the retreat book “The First Spiritual Exercises” by Michael Hansen. The retreat is suitable for all people – the only thing you need to bring is the desire to be open to the Divine.
