Our 2009 retreat schedule offers many different opportunities—days of recollection, weekend retreats, longer retreats, take home retreats, and a 30 week Retreat in Daily Life, involving weekly meetings and daily study and prayer at home. St. Scholastica is a member of the Association of Benedictine Retreat Centers.

We are also offering calligraphy classes taught by Sister Magdalen Stanton this spring.

Retreat in Daily Life

PDF Brochure
A seven-month experience of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, the retreat is offered October 2009 to May 2010 under the guidance of St. Scholastica Retreat Center. This form of retreat involves giving time each day to prayer, committing to the method of the Exercises for one hour each day. Small groups of 8-10 persons are led through 30 weekly sessions. Persons doing the retreat will likewise have a spiritual guide for 15 one-to-one individual sessions ($15 per session.) A fee of $60 per month is suggested compensation for participation in the group meetings, plus a one-time $30 supply fee. If you feel the Lord calling you to this kind of spiritual journey please register in July, 2009. Time is needed to prepare for this prayer experience and to be evaluated as to readiness for this commitment.
