Busy Person's Retreat
With Fr. Joe Schad, SJ, Sister Kathy Benham, IHM and Sister Carmen Cabrejos, ACJ
Flexible Dates
The Busy Person’s Retreat is an experience designed to support you to connecting with God in your daily, ordinary life. During these days, you will be encouraged to take the time to pray on your own for about 30 minutes each day. Daily 30 minute meetings with your spiritual director either in-person or via Zoom are also intended to help you as a daily check-in, ideally bringing you to a deepening of your prayer life. While there are many forms of prayer and everyone prays in their own way, this retreat experience may help you to better understand the range of prayer practices available to you. Through this program, you will be introduced to various Ignatian prayer practices, inspired by the Spiritual Exercises.
Choose either a 3-day or 5-day option. You may also want to spend a day or part of a day in the quiet of the Center (subject to availability).
Meeting with a Director who speaks Spanish is also available.
