Retreats
From the earliest days of the Church, retreats, or time away with the Lord, have been highly valued. Even Jesus called his disciples to such renewal (“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while” [Mark 6:31]). This page provides information and links to parish-based retreat programs and local retreat houses where you can find a variety of experiences to meet your needs.
