The Spiritual Exercises: Who Am I? Where Am I Going? How Do I Get There?

An Ignatian, Silent Weekend Retreat for Men

February 26 - 28, 2021

Groups Attending: Individuals

This retreat begins on Friday, but there is still space available. To register, call the office at 847-381-1261.

Summary

A retreat is a contemporary way of observing the Sabbath. We cease work. We make space for God. We enjoy the holiness of the gift of time to contemplate who we are from God's perspective, where He is inviting us to go with our lives, and how to follow His lead.

Description

This retreat includes several presentations, daily mass, 6 meals, the opportunity for one-on-one spiritual direction with a trained spiritual director, and many other opportunities to explore our 80 acres and almost 60k square feet of interior space. All activities are optional, but we do ask everyone to respect the quiet of the retreat house for everyone to have the opportunity to read, sleep and reflect in the quiet.

Bellarmine has two libraries, a resource center, two chapels, and many other common areas. Outdoor spaces include a various walking trails, various prayer gardens, a gazebo, stations of the cross, as well as a few patios and outdoor chairs and benches. Each retreatant has their own bedroom.
