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.
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.
