Groups Attending: St Basil FKA Don Goodwillie, Individuals

This retreat is currently at capacity or registration is closed. Please call the office at 847.381.1261 with questions.

Summary

During the season of Advent we prepare both for commemoration of Jesus’ first coming and our longing for his second coming.  Each ‘coming of Christ’ puts us in mind that, yes, we are sinners, but that we also are recipients of God’s love.  How we respond to that love is the challenge we face as we make the effort to follow Jesus.

Description

This retreat includes 7 presentations, daily mass, 6 hot 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.
