Men’s Silent Weekend Retreat

The Call to Holiness – Men of the New Testament

Called to be Holy – Two of the most poignant challenges of the Second Vatican Council were the “Universal Call to Holiness” and the “Universal Call to Mission”. As Christians, we are called to be holy. The path to holiness is a lifelong journey. Thankfully, we have ancestors in the faith who demonstrate various characteristics of holiness. During our retreat, we will focus on women and men of the New Testament who, through their words and actions, embodied the message of Jesus, the true path to holiness.

October 30 @ 4:00 pm November 1 @ 11:30 am

December 2025 Newsletter

Blessings and peace to you during this Advent Season. 
This Advent is very meaningful for us at the retreat center as we are also on a journey, of uncertainty, as indicated in Fr. Sudlik’s opening letter, however, we trust in the Lord’s providence and know that He guides our path as we travel through this time. 
We have our final Advent Retreat next weekend, December 12-14, 2025, presented by Susan Stabile.  Please contact us if you want to register for this retreat or go online. 
We are having retreats in 2026. Our theme is “The Beatitudes – Blessed are They Who…”.  We are very excited about these retreats and registrations have already been coming in. 

In this newsletter, we also announce our Last Retreat, which will be on June 26-28, 2026. 
Our Closing Reception will be held on Sunday, June 28, 2026.  We have a maximum capacity of 120 for the closing reception, so please register/rsvp early.  

We also plan to have several retreats after June 2026, with special presenters. We have not yet finalized these dates, even though we have listed potential dates in the newsletter. As we hear back from these presenters, we will update you and open registrations at that time. 

We are also including a bit of history of the retreat center in this newsletter.  When you are here next, you can check out the many photo albums we have put together which are located throughout the Garden Court and Lethert sitting area. 

There is one particular bible verse, that has meaning for me for lots of reasons, which is Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.”. We are praying for all our retreatants this Advent season and thank you all for your generous support. 
We extend Christmas Blessings to all of you as well and wish you peace and joy in the New Year.
