He has led retreats and discernment workshops for a wide variety of church and social service organizations. He is married to Jeannie Cleary-Burns and lives in South Euclid, Ohio.

Patrick Cleary-Burns is available to lead the following retreat programs:

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?

Following

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.

Assistance for Camp & Retreat Directors

If you run a camp or Retreat center I would be very happy to set up and run sound, lights, power point, easy worship and more for you or your guest at your camp.

I will do this as unto the Lord so as long as I have enough money for the gas to your facility and a place to sleep (if its more then one day) there is no extra charge, only what God will put on someone's heart to give.

This is a call from God on me and I am willing to help in any way if possible. We have a 24 channel sound system with mikes, wireless mikes, recording and much more that travels well. I also have a lighting system that will cover most stages and alters, it consist of 2 light towers with up to 1200 watts of light on each tower, color effects and a 24 channel light console. I can even set up a power point show or easy worship on my laptop and I do have a projector, if needed.

I am not a DJ’s but I can play music through the system.
I do not rent or lend out the equipment.

I hope to visit your camp or retreat center. God Bless
