What is a Retreat?
An annual retreat presents us with a great opportunity to draw closer to Jesus Christ with all our faculties – our intellect, our heart, and our will.
During the retreat we are able to silence distractions for two days so as to gain a clearer perspective on the course of our life, make a deeper examination of conscience, and come up with thoughtful resolutions for the next year that will improve our relationship with Christ, our studies, our friendships, and other important areas of our life.
A priest of Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Catholic Church, will preach the retreat. The retreat will include times of prayer, talks on the Christian life, Holy Mass, Stations of the Cross, the Holy Rosary, and opportunities for confession and spiritual direction.
