Summary

The veil is thin these November days when the season of remembering reconnects us to those souls whom we so dearly loved who are no longer with us as we once knew them. Sacred scriptures and poets provide manna in the deserts of grief. This day we shall sit on the well of grief and find solace, soulfulness and serenity in remembering…together.

Description

A day or evening of reflection, grounded in the Jesuit tradition, is a shorter version of the Ignatian Weekend Retreat. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, a day or evening program is sure to give you the peace and serenity needed to be still and to rest in God's loving embrace.

Your day or evening of reflection includes thematic talks from our skilled Retreat Leaders, time for private prayer, celebration of Mass and a meal.

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.
