Rediscover

Your Heavenly Father’s Love in the Silence

When was the last time you spent some alone time with your Heavenly Father? 

The noise, hustle, and mess of life are huge distractions from the still small voice of God. He is always there, loving you and speaking to you, but you forget to listen.

So come on an Alone with God Retreat! Step away from the intensity of daily life and rediscover your Heavenly Father’s love in the silence. This Catholic silent retreat includes inspiring conferences to deepen your knowledge of God. Spiritual direction is available for your journey of faith. Most importantly, abundant graces are given through the sacraments.

You'll come away refreshed in body, mind, and soul.
