The retreat will include time for silent prayer, reflection questions with writing exercises, group discussion, meditation, shared prayer with the monks, and joint fellowship. Future retreats will include more profound readings into themes found in the Rule of St. Benedict that will help us develop into people of prayer, outreach, and love.Come and share with other oblates your own experiences of living the oblate life while considering the wisdom from our founding documents lived out in non-monastic settings.Retreat ScheduleFriday evening: 6:15 pm, session 1Saturday morning: 9:00 am, session 2Saturday afternoon: 2:30 pm, session 3Saturday evening: 6:15 pm, session 4Sunday Morning: 9:00 am, final sessionPlease note that in-person registration is ONLY for the retreat and does not include room reservations, which must be made separately after registering.
