From Aging to Saging - Day Retreat
2026-01-14 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Aging is the most common human experience. How we view the aging process has a significant impact on how we harvest the gifts given and the gifts received in our life. We are living longer these days, and so often we hear the phrase, “I don’t like getting old.” This common phrase becomes a daily mantra for some. Does this mentality serve you and enhance your being? Can you instead embrace aging to cultivate the inwardness from which your wisdom grows? What is your meaningful spiritual and life legacy? How can you use your experience and wisdom to contribute to help the world? These are some of the questions and insights for our day of reflection. Join us as we explore ways to embrace the wisdom in our life’s journey through meaningful conversation, prayer, and resources for self-reflection. Lunch is included. Guided by Sharon Scibek.

Winter Silent Directed Retreat - 3-nights

Begin the new year by focusing on your path ahead and tuning into God’s voice. Our winter directed retreat consists of two days (3-night stay) of spiritual direction. Retreatants will meet with a spiritual director daily (or less if you desire) to reflect on God’s presence and movement in your life as revealed in prayer, the events and relationships in your life, and the response to God that is being made. The spiritual director may make suggestions (prayer forms, Scripture, reading materials, etc.) to support and deepen your awareness of and response to God.
Aside from the introductory session and your spiritual direction meetings, you will be on your own to experience a weekend of personal reflection. Mass will be available on Sunday and Monday. Guided by Fr. Jim McBurney, Amy Sorensen Kulesa, and Sr. Pat Mensing.

2026-01-20 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
When we take the time to be aware of our thoughts, our inner and outer world shifts as the power of perspective transforms what we see and how we experience life. For real change to occur, we need awareness, dedication, and perseverance. Let’s come together to pause and be present; to “notice what we notice” and shift our attention to the things that will bring us into Divine alignment with Christ. Lunch is included. Guided by Sanyika Calloway.

2026-04-17 15:00 - 2026-04-19 13:00 | O’Dwyer Retreat Center, 5523 York Road, Sparks, Maryland, 21152
Pope Leo canonized Carlo Acutis on September 7th! Who is he? How did he become a saint while living only 15 years? Wasn’t he just a regular boy who liked video games and played soccer? Was he really a computer wiz? What can we learn from him and his life?
The Archdiocese of Baltimore is sponsoring a weekend camping retreat at the Archdiocese’s O’Dwyer Retreat Center on April 17-19, 2026. The retreat is for members of youth outdoor programs including Scouting America, Trail Life, and American Heritage Girls. The families of members may also attend with their siblings participating in all the retreat events.
During our retreat, we will have lots of fun. We will learn about Saint Carlo Acutis and his joyful life. We will explore his website on Eucharist Miracles. We will camp, play games, and participate in exciting activities, while we grow closer to Jesus Christ!
