Sabbath Rest: A Personal Silent Weekend Retreat

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, Sabbath invites us to receive a different gift: the grace to simply be.

This silent weekend retreat offers a spacious rhythm of prayer, rest, and renewal without a structured schedule. Inspired by the Ignatian tradition, you'll have the freedom to spend your time in whatever way most opens your heart to God—walking wooded trails, praying in the chapel, journaling, reading Scripture, resting in your room, or simply sitting quietly in God's presence.

The retreat begins Friday evening and concludes Sunday after brunch. Throughout the weekend, retreatants are invited to observe sacred silence, allowing space to listen more deeply for God's voice. Opportunities include Saturday Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and optional brief conversations with a spiritual director for those who desire spiritual companionship.

Whether you are weary, discerning, grieving, celebrating, or simply longing for a quiet place to reconnect with God, this retreat offers the gift of unhurried time in a peaceful setting where nothing is expected of you except your presence.

Come and rediscover the rhythm of Sabbath.
