Retreat Leaders: Fr Roger Schmit, OSB, and Abbey Guest Center staff
Follow the advice of John the Baptist this Lent by searching for what you need to do so that Christ increases and you decrease. Allow the time of silence to reflect upon what obstacles or pedestals that keep you distracted from spiritual growth in your life. Spiritual direction will be available as well as Eucharistic Adoration. The Friday night conference will prepare you with ways to use the silence well.
