Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center: Silent Retreats

2012 Silent Retreat

2012 Retreat Theme: "Darkness and Light are But One: Embracing the Seasons of our Faith"

August 9-12

After many requests, Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center will offer Silent Retreats. Due to the nature of these retreats, we ask retreatants to refrain from talking to anyone except their confessor or spiritual director. We start the silence after the night prayer and end the silence after the last conference on the last day of the retreat.

Suggested donation $160 to $180 (includes program, meals and private room)A non-refundable registration fee of $30 per person is required and must be received in order to reserve a room.
