Retreats & Workshops

A silent retreat allows you to engage in quiet reflection on your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity to ponder what has gone well, what has not gone so well. You will come away with resolutions that will bring new light to your everyday life. Workshops will give fresh ideas and inspiration for enhancing family life, doctrinal formation and your social and cultural milieu.

It is the policy of CRCC that these activities, inspired by St. Josemaria Escriva, are so important 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.

- I was invited by a friend to go on an Opus Dei retreat and it changed my life. I’m much more serene now in situations that used to ruffle me. It makes me joyful to see how much happier this has made my family.
  
  —Denise, a young mother of 2
- I felt so at home on my first retreat at the Manoir. I learned that the staff prayed for me as they cleaned my room and served my meals and their warmth and joy were so inspiring. I wanted to try to do the same at home with my own family.
  
  —Maria, a mother of six young children
- I love attending Opus Dei activities because they add to the way I see the world. They give me a better grasp of the beauty and truth of real life and help me become better at being myself.
  
  —Rachel, a 17 year old high school student
- During my later teenage years, I was searching and lukewarm in my faith. The genuine friendship and solid formation I received at the Centre enabled me to reencounter Christ and grow in my relationship with Him. The message of Opus Dei has taught me to direct all my actions and ordinary duties towards a Father who truly loves me as His son.
  
  —Jonathan, a 3rd year medical student
- Opus Dei activities helped my daughter a lot while she was growing up. I think the formation, friendships and advice she received through her adolescence and young adulthood, are the main reasons she is strong in her faith and happily married today.
  
  —Kathleen, a mother of 7 and grandmother of 3
- Opus Dei activities help recharge my batteries. I’m encouraged to enlarge my heart and give the gift of self. I’m certain this helps me be a better wife and mother.
  
  —Frances, a young mother of seven children
- Our adult children have told us more than once, that they still practice their faith because of the answers we gave them when they were questioning their faith as adolescents. My wife and I would never have been able to answer effectively without the formation we’ve received over the years through Opus Dei.
  
  —John, a father of seven grown children
- I am one of the fortunate ladies who attended a retreat at the beautiful new Copper Ridge Conference Centre before we were all confined to our homes. The spiritually uplifting meditations and talks, coupled with the beauty of the oratory and the surrounding natural beauty have helped sustain me in faith and hope during this COVID19 pandemic and given me more tools for helping others in their spiritual journey.
