A CONTEMPLATIVE SABBATICAL PROGRAM
ST. JOSEPH RETREAT CENTER
January 31-March 2, 2011

This 30 day Sabbatical Program is open to women and men religious, clergy and lay people of all denominations. The program is fashioned to animate 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. Participants are free to be quiet at the Retreat Center or to come and go as they please. Weekly Spiritual Direction is available. Come and participate in whatever appeals to you.

God is waiting to be gracious to you. (Isaiah 30)

Perhaps the feature of St. Joseph Retreat Center that you will absolutely fall in love with is the beauty of its location, immediately situated on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is God's outside décor of visuals and sound beyond description during the day and throughout the night but the ambiance of the over 130 year old center, a sacred haven of safety and rest, is so attractive, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Thirteen of its sixteen bedrooms as well as the living room, dining room and chapel have an ocean view.

Cost: $3000; deposit (non-refundable, non-transferable and part of total cost): $300; the balance is due no later than January 17, 2011. Please inquire about the option to come earlier for additional Private Time (not included in Sabbatical stipend) if you want a slightly longer stay.
