Altar Servers Retreat
2026-06-25 08:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | O’Dwyer Retreat Center, 15523 York Road, Sparks, Maryland, 21152
Geared toward altar servers under 18 years old, this retreat is not intended to be a training session (we understand that each parish and pastor has their own particular way of celebrating the liturgy). Rather, it seeks to explore why we serve, the profound dignity of service, and the joy of serving well.
Our hope is that this day will deepen their relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist, inspiring greater reverence, love, and devotion. The day will conclude with Mass at 4:00 p.m. (Register here: https://forms.gle/Qjemk4RiymBVccpp8).

Carmelite Weekend Retreat
2026-06-26 16:00 - 2026-06-28 12:30 | Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and University, 16300 Old Emmitsburg Rd, Emmitsburg, MD, 212027, United States
This Carmelite weekend retreat is led by Carmelite Father Ambrose Ekeroku, OCD, and has as its theme “A Vocation, both Contemplative and Apostolic”. The retreat will foster in us a deeper, contemplative, and unitive prayer life, drawing on the 800-year-old tradition of the Order of Carmelites and the teachings of Carmelite saints, focusing on prayer and union with God. We will have opportunities for silence and solitude, time and space for quiet, allowing for personal reflection and deeper union with God. There will be Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, participation in the Divine Office and reconciliation. Father Ambrose and his brother friars will give conferences and lead contemplative reading of Scripture. We will pray the Carmelite six-decade rosary, reflecting the Carmelite devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Given the busyness of our work, summer activities, and more, you are invited to come and allow holy stillness to become the invited guest at your table. We will let Psalm 46 inform our contemplative time of silence, along with experiences of lectio divina, journaling, and how to be a companion to stillness. The contemplative practices will invite us to define and welcome stillness as a rhythm of life. How can we encounter stillness for the rest of the calendar year? Let the gift of being in community embrace the attributes of stillness. Guided by Sandra Dorsainvil.

Day Retreat - Creator and the Cosmos
2026-07-23 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
During this day of meditation, we will have the opportunity to engage with our creator and the cosmos through visio divina and audio divina. Similar to lectio divina, which focuses on scripture, visio divina focuses on sacred seeing. It is an ancient form of prayer involving meditating through sight. It invites one to engage with an image in a way that will move our minds and hearts to the presence of God. In addition, there will be recordings of sounds from space so we may enter into audio divina. These forms of prayer will encourage us to sharpen our senses of seeing and hearing as a way to connect with the divine, deepening our awareness of God and God’s love. The day will include communal prayer, meditation, visio divina, and audio divina, as well as free time to journal, walk with nature, or simply rest in the presence of our God. Lunch is included. Guided by Donna Bilek.
There is also an overnight option for this retreat. Visit bonsecoursrcc.org/events for details.

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.
