A
CONTEMPLATIVE SABBATICAL PROGRAM
ST. JOSEPH RETREAT CENTER
February 3 - March 7, 2012
This
30 day Sabbatical Program is open to women and men religious,
clergy and lay people of all denominations. The program is fashioned
to enhance personal renewal in a contemplative spirit. Quiet and
solitude are priorities supplemented by reflective input by experienced
staff members and opportunities to enhance one's spiritual development
and prayer. Some days, most afternoons and all evenings are personal
time for reading, resting, exercising, praying, or exploring the
area. Weekly Spiritual Direction is available. Come and participate
in whatever appeals to you. The program is not built on establishing
community but this might happen in the silence. You can make arrangements
to come earlier for additional private time, if you desire. Perhaps
the feature of St. Joseph Retreat Center that you will absolutely
fall in love with is the beauty of its location, directly on the
Atlantic Shore.
God
is waiting to be gracious to you. (Isaiah 30)

Cost:
$3600; deposit (non-refundable, non-transferable and part of total

Please inquire about the option to come earlier for additional
Private Time (not included in Sabbatical stipend) if you want
a slightly longer stay.
