"May we try to listen and be silent in order to make space for the beauty of God"  `Pope Francis

Come away from the busyness of life for a silent retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

The tranquil, natural surroundings of this 1000+ acre environment allows you to easily let go of the distractions of everyday life. Take a walk on our nature trail around St Mary's Lake, enjoy praying at the Grotto, The outside Stations of the Cross, The Divine mercy garden, the St Therese Garden and many other prayer gardens in the campus grounds.  You will have the refreshing opportunity to pray, to learn about yourself, to deepen your knowledge of the Scriptures and the Catholic faith, to seek God's will for your life, and to experience the tremendous, personal love that Jesus Christ has for you.
