Retreats & Workshops

Silent retreats are a time for peaceful prayer and quiet reflection to obtain fresh perspectives that will enhance personal growth, spiritual development and improve family, social and professional relationships.

Activities for retreats include:

  • Holy Mass
  • Meditations (Silent prayer guided by a priest)
  • Talks
  • Benediction and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
  • Holy Rosary and Way of the Cross
  • Sacrament of Reconciliation
  • Spiritual Direction
  • Time for silent reflection, private reading and prayer.

Each guest is provided their own private room with ensuite as well as three meals a day in a beautiful dining room, all imbued with a warm and comfortable family atmosphere.

To get the most out of your retreat, we suggest you read To Make a Good Retreat (PDF) by James Stenson.

Note: It is the policy of CRCC that no one should be prevented from attending due to financial constraints. Please contact the registrar at the email address below if you require financial assistance or for any other information.
