Summary

Many of us have a "fear of missing out," but we actually experience freedom when we make commitments. There is a depth of joy that only occurs when we go all in. Using the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Fr. Michael Rossmann will share how we can go about making commitments and experiencing true freedom. Includes optional time for small-group sharing.

Description

This retreat includes several presentations, daily Mass, 6 meals, the opportunity for one-on-one spiritual direction with a trained spiritual director, and many other opportunities to explore our 80 acres and almost 60k square feet of  interior space.  All activities are optional, but we do ask everyone to respect the quiet of the retreat house for everyone to have the opportunity to read, sleep and reflect in the quiet. 

Bellarmine has two libraries, a resource center, two chapels, and many other common areas.  Outdoor spaces include a various walking trails, various prayer gardens, a gazebo, stations of the cross, as well as a few patios and outdoor chairs and benches.   Each retreatant has their own bedroom.
