MEN'S SILENT RETREAT AT ST. MICHAEL'S ABBEY

The noise, hustle, and mess of life are huge distractions from the still small voice of God. He is always there, loving you and speaking to you, but you forget to listen. Step away from the intensity of daily life. Rediscover your Father’s love in the silence. This one-day silent retreat will include: conferences to deepen your knowledge of God, Mass, and confession. A light Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
