Holy Trinity offers four opportunities to make an individually directed Retreat in Daily Life during the year. The format for these retreats is the following:
• Continue to live at home and engage in your daily activities.
• Gather in community with other retreatants and spiritual guides to open the retreat on a Sunday afternoon.
• From Monday- Friday, pray with Scripture passages that your guide suggests and meet with your spiritual guide each day or each week depending on the length of the retreat.
• Gather at the end of the retreat on a Saturday morning to close the retreat with fellow retreatants and spiritual guides.
• Register for the retreat by completing a form that can be found on the website or at the entrances to the church and chapel.
We offer three Retreats in Daily Life
God's Abiding Love
This retreat is designed especially for individuals who are new to
praying with Scripture in an Ignatian way. The retreat lasts one week, beginning on a Sunday and ending on the following Saturday. We ask that you pray for 30 minutes Monday - Friday and meet with your spiritual guide for 30 minutes each day of the week. We will offer this first retreat in October and January.
Emmanuel: God With Us Always
Our second retreat was created for individuals who have participated in the God's Abiding Love Retreat. The retreat lasts one week, beginning on a Sunday afternoon and ending the following Saturday. As in the first retreat, we ask that you pray for 30 minutes each day with Scripture passages that we suggest, and meet daily with your spiritual guide for one half hour (Monday - Friday). The Emmanuel: God With Us retreat will be offered in December.
In the Footsteps of Jesus
The six-week Lenten retreat is for those who have made the God's Abiding Love or Emmanual: God With Us Always retreat, an 8-day Ignatian retreat, or the 9-month Spiritual Exercises. The opening and closing of the retreat is the same as the previous two retreats. During the six-weeks we ask that you pray for 1 hour each day and meet with your spiritual guide for 45 -60 minutes once a week. We will offer this retreat during Lent.
The schedule for the Retreats in Daily Life for 2012-2013 will be posted on this site by the beginning of August.
