PHEW!

A weekend of support, respite and celebration for those who minister among God’s People. We will remember, celebrate, lament, and recommit to our call as ministers of the kingdom and explore a variety of abundant wellness ideas and techniques.

Where Next Lord?

A weekend retreat for college seniors who are seeking to discern how our Loving God is calling them to live in the ‘real’ world. How can they continue to blossom spiritually once away from the safe, creative home of their campus ministry program?

As our communities change and evolve, parishes and parish organizations need to grow, adjust, and/or redefine themselves. This day or weekend retreat will help the community discern prayerfully together how the Spirit is guiding them.

Retreats Within Daily Life for Individuals

God wants to meet us where we live. Most retreats expect you to go away to a retreat house. This retreat offers a full experience of the St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises for the retreatant at home with the support of a spiritual director. Meetings with the director will be once a week at a mutually agreeable location. Pat can refer retreatants who live outside the Greater Cleveland area to other experienced directors.
