WEEKEND RETREATS

 

 

 

The Jesuit Retreat House offers a wide variety of weekend retreats throughout the year.  Some retreats focus on a specific topic, while others are designed for specific audiences or groups.  All of our weekend programs offer retreatants an opportunity to pray, learn, and reflect in the peaceful beauty of Jesuit Retreat House.


September 17-18: Ignatian Discernment & Letting Go
a 24-hour retreat reflecting upon personal loss and spiritual freedom


We have all been touched by loss at some point in our lives, and we have to find a way to deal with it and open up to new possibilities.  This 24-hour retreat will help.  It is designed for those responding to personal loss of a loved one by death or divorce, or otherwise have experienced painful separation or disappointment, such as loss of a job.  The retreat will help you cultivate a liberating and life-giving sense of detachment and spiritual freedom as expressed in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola. Retreat activities include brief presentations, guided scriptural prayer, and small group sharing.  It begins Friday with 6pm supper and ends with Mass and supper at 5:30pm Saturday. Cost is $80.  Register here by September 14.
