Catholic Men’s Retreat

In-Person

A holy longing stirs in each of us. A desire to be your true self wrestles within.

If you are a Catholic man looking to deepen your faith in a community, seeking to develop your personal relationship with God, longing to have real conversations and true freedom, hoping for greater insights into living Christian manhood, and desiring to develop a practical spirituality, then we hope you join us.

“Jesus the Christ serves as a role model and guide, exemplifying the path to genuine growth and spiritual awakening.” As Fr. Rohr continues, “Devotion is key to nurturing humility and love. We can embrace Jesus with a devotional heart, finding healing and belonging in his loving presence, and we can use his profound insights for personal reflection and self-discovery. Jesus' life offers invaluable teachings and wisdom to support our journey into the second half of life” …to healthy manhood in Christ.
