Iconography Retreat:

Friday, August 28 – Sunday, August 30

“It is the God‑given inclination of the human heart to know Him, to love Him, and to behold His Face.”

Join us for a profound retreat exploring the mystery of the Face of God through the sacred tradition of Christian iconography. This retreat will introduce participants to the theological, historical, and spiritual foundations of icons — the ancient art that reveals Christ and His saints in the light of divine glory. Led by Lynne Bissonnette-Pitre, M.D. $250 per person for the weekend, includes food.

Women’s Retreat:

Friday, September 11 - Sunday, September 13

Theme: “Abide in Me as I abide in you.” (John 15:4)

We abide in love in a similar way as Jesus abides in us. And we know that Jesus abides in us (I will remain with you always) in the Mass. Our retreat will focus on reflections on the Mass, both how Jesus abides in us and how we abide with Jesus. Our retreat will include meditations on the Mass, seeing how we can reflect on the life of Jesus during the Mass. We will also talk about how to prepare for Mass, how to pray during the Mass and how to deal with distractions, and how to offer thanksgiving after Mass. Retreat led by Fr. Augustine Hilander, retreat director at St. Benedict. $250 per person for the weekend, includes food.

Men’s Retreat

Friday, September 18 - Sunday, September 20

Theme: “But I chose you.” (John 15:16)

Jesus speaks to us at Mass and chooses to stay with us, but also gives us a model to follow. And we know that Jesus remains with us always in the Mass. Our retreat will focus on reflections on the Mass, both how Jesus remains in us and how we follow Jesus. Our retreat will include meditations on the Mass, seeing how we can reflect on the life of Jesus during the Mass. We will also talk about how to prepare for Mass, how to pray during the Mass and how to deal with distractions, and how to offer thanksgiving after Mass. Retreat led by Fr. Augustine Hilander, retreat director at St. Benedict. $250 per person for the weekend, includes food.

Mass is open to anyone. If you are interested in attending any of our retreats or personal retreats, please contact us.
