The gorgeous nature beckons reflection and restoration as you breathe deeply, releasing your struggles, burdens, and racing thoughts toward a sense of serenity. Sit with yourself and Jesus over four days of quietness. Immerse yourself in guided prayer, themed conferences, confession, adoration and Mass. Private bedroom suite with meals cooked onsite. Pray with the labyrinth and outdoor Stations of the Cross. Find more information and registration at franciscanretreats.net/silent-catholic-retreat-men-women-september-.
