WEEKENDS OF PRAYER AND WEEKEND WORKSHOPS

Weekend Retreats offer an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and with God. Arrival is on Friday after 3 P.M. and departure is before noon on Sunday. You must pay for both nights. All weekends are held in a quiet, prayerful atmosphere. All meals, other than the opening dinner, are in silence and background music accompanies them. Sunrise, Cohasset Harbor

On Friday dinner is at 6 P.M. and an opening session begins at7:15 P.M. There will be a Saturday morning presentation around 9:30 or 10:00 A.M. and either a Saturday afternoon or evening session. A Roman Catholic Eucharistic Liturgy will be celebrated late Saturday afternoon for those who wish to participate. On Sunday morning there will be a short, reflective input session around 9:15 A.M., time for personal prayer, a closing session at 11:00 A.M., and departure at approximately 11:45 A.M.
It is most suitable to the retreat if your travel arrangements fitwithin these parameters.

During a Weekend Retreat you will have plenty of time for personal prayer, rest, relaxation, and exercise. Limited opportunities for individual meetings with a director may be available.
