Lent 2026 Newsletter

We hope this finds you well.  Lent begins next week with Ash Wednesday.  
Our last Men’s Silent retreat is on March 13-15 and there are quite a few spots available.  Please register online soon to make sure you have a spot.  
We have confirmed that Fr. Matt Linn will be here for the July 17-19 retreat. He contacted us recently to discuss a new title that includes Hope and Kindness in a world that is angry.  We encourage you to make plans to attend this retreat.
Fr. Rolheiser and Fr. Charlie have not yet sent us the topic of their retreats, but we are excited to have them with us this August as usual.  
Susan Stabile will join us in November, instead of her usual Advent retreat. We are very much looking forward to having her with us as well. 
As always, our prayer basket is in front of the altar and we remember the prayers that it contains during our daily Mass.  Please send us your prayer requests and we’ll make sure they are added.  
Please contact me or Connie in the office if you have any questions.  We will be praying for you during your Lenten journey. 

Have a very blessed day, 
Anita Goth, Retreat Coordinator

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.
