Come now, O little soul, escape from your everyday business for a short while, hide for a moment from your restless thoughts. Break off from your cares and troubles and be less concerned about your tasks and labors. Make a little time for God and rest a while in him.

Enter into your mind’s inner chamber. Shut out everything but God and whatever helps you to seek him; and when you have shut the door, look for him. Speak now to God and say with your whole heart: I seek your face; your face Lord I desire.

St Anselm

Throughout the Gospels, Christ periodically takes time to step away from the world, and even from His disciples, to be alone with His Father. Jesus knew that after pouring Himself into His ministry, He needed to fill Himself back up by spending time alone with the Father in prayer. Retreats give us the same opportunity to fill ourselves back up by emulating Christ Himself, and reconnecting with God in personal prayer.



These days of particular dedication to the spirit are an excellent opportunity for Regnum Christi members to experience a fruitful and refreshing encounter with God and themselves. It is a time to mature and strengthen our faith, gain a deeper knowledge of ourselves in Christ, reinforce our Christian and apostolic spirit, and serenely seek God's will and bring the profound decisions of our life into line with the Gospel.

Cost of a Private room $450.00  (a limited number of small scholarships are available on a first come first serve basis)
