A Day of Reflection for Adults
October 29, 2024
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Program Cost: $75.00 (includes Lunch)
Come be in the presence of others who share the journey to understand and heal from grief and loss. We will explore the process of grief from the physical, emotional, and spiritual impacts of losing someone we love. There will be time to share with others, to reflect on our individual healing journeys, and to quietly listen to God and our deepest selves.
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.
