An individually directed retreat focuses on the way God is active in the individual’s life, and each retreat follows a uniquely personal path. Retreatants meet with a spiritual director once a day to reflect on God’s presence and movement in their life as revealed in prayer, the events and relationships in their life, and the response to God that is being made. Mass will be available throughout the week. This is a silent retreat. Check-in begins at 4pm, and the retreat will begin with an orientation session at 5pm. Silence will begin after dinner. The retreat ends before lunch on Saturday.

Summer TMIY 2026
2026-08-15 07:00 - 08:30 | St. John the Evangelist, Severna Park, 689 Ritchie Hwy., Severna Park, 21146, United States
“Lectio: The Case for Jesus,” a video study program from the Augustine Institute presented by Brant Pitre, Ph.D. Do you follow Jesus ‘on the way?’ Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them? Do the Gospels communicate truth, or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Join Dr. Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity. Strengthen your faith so that you can not only stand firm and profess that Jesus truly is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but also confidently respond to any skeptics you encounter. Watch the trailer on Formed: app.formed.org/app/videos/1343209. We will meet 7—8:30a.m. in Cottage 1 next to the playground on the nine Saturday mornings of: May 30, June 6, June 20,
June 27, July 11, July 18, Aug. 1, Aug. 8, and Aug. 15. Contact Ben Switzer for more information at switzers08@gmail.com.

Day Retreat - Growing Old for Heaven’s Sake
2026-08-27 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Exploring Spiritualities of Aging
The path of holiness challenges us to be honest, vulnerable, and faithful. No matter the season of life we are in, we search for God — even in our doubts, fears, and disappointments. We desire to integrate our burdens and blessings into a holy prayer that brings us face-to-face with our loving and merciful God. Join us for a day of reflection as we explore the spiritualities of aging. Lunch is included. Guided by Sr. Sara Dwyer.

6-Night Retreat - A Kaleidoscope of Holiness

Seeking an Authentic Spirituality
Our stories reveal the beauty of light and darkness, loves and losses, laughter and tears. As we journey through all of this, we desire a life-giving spirituality that is both sustaining and contemplative, as well as attitudes, beliefs, and practices that will help us explore our true selves more consciously and deeply. During this six-night retreat, we will have generous amounts of time to reflect with guides who have narrated their own experiences, including Parker Palmer, Richard Rohr, Joan Chittister, Pope Francis, Walter Brueggemann, Joyce Rupp, Maya Angelou, and other spiritual writers. Join us to ponder, probe, practice, and pray in the quiet of your heart and with your God. Guided by Sr. Sara Dwyer.
