We offer a variety of retreats, including (but not limited to) Confirmation retreats, class retreats, all-school retreats, youth group retreats, and even staff retreats. With that being said, we are always happy to explore new and unique retreat opportunities.

Yes! Our team has traveled all the way to Alabama and is wiling to come to your campus or retreat site. We routinely travel to schools and parishes in the Greater Cincinnati area. We even have a utility van to transport our materials. Whether you are near or far, we would love to go on retreat with you.

If you are interested in planning a retreat with us, you can reach out to Daniel Poat, our Director, either via email or phone. Next, we will meet with you personally or virtually to discuss the time, location, size and type of group, the content of the retreat itself, and pricing. Once the details have been worked out, you’ll sign a contract to secure your date and pricing. Then, we will stay in touch with you up to the time of the retreat to ensure that any last-minute needs are met and that the retreat is a success.

While much of a retreat depends on things like time, size, and theme, all of our retreats share some basic components.

Prayer, for instance, is fundamental to every retreat. We especially try to include some form of Ignatian prayer, such as the Examen, a reflective prayer that recalls the events of the day and the presence of God in it, or Ignatian Contemplation, an imaginative style of prayer that focuses on Scripture.

Silence is another fundamental component of our retreats. The Ignatian spiritual tradition places immense value on silence. Therefore, we try to include, whenever possible, ample time for retreatants to engage in personal silent reflection.

Our retreats also typically include various “ISEs” or Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. These are essentially activities or games that have some meaning which relates to the theme of the retreat or session.

We also include some form of faith sharing or teaching in every retreat. Oftentimes this takes the form of a “witness,” where one of our staff gives a personal witness to how God worked in their life.

Many of our retreats also include mass or adoration, as well as reconciliation.

Ultimately what our retreats include are largely decided by collaborative discussions with our ministry partners. We strive to meet your varied and unique needs, and to create a retreat that brings your vision to life.
