What
is a Retreat? Sometimes the word "retreat"
brings images clouded in mystery. "I could never make a retreat
-- it's only for holy people," might be the response. But
the truth is that anyone and everyone who desires a deeper
relationship with God is called to retreat -- to "step aside",
to "take time away" and allow God to speak to their heart.
During a retreat here at Stella Maris one
is surrounded by the beauty of God's creation and your every
need is provided for — from nourishing food to a comfortable
bedroom. More important is the spiritual nourishment you receive.
A typical retreat would offer conferences
on some aspect of spirituality, time for the celebration of
Mass and Reconciliation, personal time for prayer and reflection.
Those who come to retreat step from a
busy, sometimes chaotic world onto peaceful and serene "holy
ground" in a "sacred space." Perhaps God is calling you to a
time of retreat. We invite you to consider a visit to Stella
Maris.
