This Directed retreats opportunity is for 4 nights over the course of 5 dates. 

During your retreat, three meals are provided each day. Daily activities include, daily mass, the opportunity for one-on-one spiritual direction with a trained spiritual director, and many other opportunities to explore a number of sacred spaces on 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.

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. Please see the photo gallery below to see some of our wonderful spaces.
