Are you a REALLY BUSY person?

Too busy to go to a monastery or retreat

house in some far away place?

BUT you’d still like to find a way to step

back, rest, have a professional spiritual di-

rector to talk to?

Then our “Busy Person’s Retreat” is just

for you!

For four days in April you can experience

the grace of a great retreat, guided by a per-

sonal spiritual director, without leaving

home!

You just have to commit yourself to set

aside one hour each day at a time conven-

ient to YOU.

Daily Mass and Morning and Evening

Prayer together with the other retreatants is

also available.

Three Great Spiritual

Directors Just for YOU!

Participants in this year’s Busy Person’s Re-

treat will choose one of these experienced

and dedicated spiritual directors to person-

ally guide them during these special four

days of prayer and reflection. You will meet

once a day for 30 minutes and then spend

another 30 minutes in personal prayer fol-

lowing your visit.
