Retreat begin Thursday, July 21. Arrive between 4 and 6pm. Held at the Archdiocese of New Orleans Retreat Center, 5500 St. Mary St. Metairie. A directed retreat is a completely silent retreat. Each retreatant meets daily with a spiritual director, is given scripture to pray with and spends the rest of the day in silence, prayer and rest. Through scripture and reflection under the daily guidance of the Spiritual Director, the retreatant will become more aware of God’s presence and action in their life. Come away for awhile…. Retreat ends Wednesday, July 27 after breakfast.
