Take It Personal!
Who goes on retreat?
All kinds of people make retreats…all ages, from all walks of life. Some are here for the first time, others have been making retreats for years. Each year many men and women come to Calvary Retreat Center. You don’t need a strong religious background, you simply need a sincere desire to explore your God-relationship and have a willingness to deepen your inner life.
That’s right. Take this invitation personal.
YOU are being invited!
Invited to what?
To give yourself one of the most spiritual and refreshing weekends of your life … a retreat at Calvary Retreat Center.
Why?
- To find peace and a way to grow spiritually.
- To deepen relationships at home or work.
- To heal and find refreshment.
- To celebrate your faith and to find the courage to face the future.
Practical Stuff…
What do I need? What’s the cost?
Casual clothes and personal toiletries is enough. A comfortable room, towels, linens and all meals are provided by the retreat center. You will receive a smile along with a welcome packet and program schedule when you arrive.
Our requested offering is far less than a typical weekend away. Moreover, it is our policy that no one should deny himself or herself a retreat because they cannot afford it. We ask that you give what you can, when you can, if you can. Some people put the offering on a credit card and pay through the year. Please contact the retreat center (or the person giving you this brochure) for more information about programs, dates and registration. Consider yourself invited!
What is a typical retreat weekend like?
Passionist priests, brothers and professional laypeople, organize the weekend schedule. From Friday evening until Sunday noon, your retreat will consider a central theme. There are scheduled talks, workshops, prayer and Reconciliation services, masses, opportunities for private conferences, and enough free time for personal prayer or rest.
