Retreats of all kinds offer spiritual, physical, and mental renewal as you spend time in a place free of your daily responsibilities. Jesus shows us on several occasions the importance of setting aside time for yourself and your relationship with God and others. The individual benefits of a retreat can include quiet time of peace and personal study, the chance to spend extra time enjoying a hobby, or even the opportunity to make new friends.
Unless otherwise noted, retreats start after dinner on Friday and end before lunch on the last day.
