Directed by Sr. Susan Arcaro, r.c.

This retreat offers us an opportunity to leave the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations for a weekend of an imaginative journey to Bethlehem. Our guides for the journey will be the Gospel writers Matthew and Luke who have stories to tell us that are more than 2000 years old and Ignatius of Loyola who invites us to actively engage in these stores through faith, love, and our imagination.   Our journey to the manger will be one that will ignite our hearts with childlike wonder and heartfelt gratitude for Emmanuel, God-With-Us today, tomorrow and forever. 

This is a silent retreat. Guests are expected to maintain a sacred silence throughout the retreat, including at meals, unless otherwise noted.
