Ignatian Contemplation and Our Interior Life (Palm Sunday)
An Ignatian, Silent Weekend Retreat for Men
March 27 - 29, 2026
Suggested Contribution: $380.00 per person
Groups Attending: Individuals
Summary
During this retreat, we will step into the sacred stories of Scripture with the gift of imagination, allowing the Word to come alive in a deeply personal way. Rooted in Ignatian spirituality, our journey will invite us into intimate prayer, where we can bring our whole selves before God—our joys and sorrows, our anxieties and peace—trusting that Jesus meets us where we are. As we walk alongside Him in the Gospels, we will listen with our hearts, explore our emotions openly, and discover how the Spirit moves within us, drawing us ever closer to divine love and guidance.
Description
This retreat includes several presentations, daily mass, 6 meals, the opportunity for one-on-one spiritual direction with a trained spiritual director, and many other opportunities to explore our 80 acres and almost 60k square feet of interior space. All activities are optional, but we do ask everyone to respect the quiet of the retreat house for everyone to have the opportunity to read, sleep and reflect in the quiet.
