*What is a person-directed retreat? This retreat option provides retreatants a daily session with a qualified spiritual director. This person will personalize the retreat for each retreatant based on their needs and desires, providing suggestions and materials to pray with. For this retreat, we have three in-person directors with a fourth available by zoom (assistance will be provided, if needed).

The video option with **Margaret Silf will include a pre-recorded session each day with reflection materials provided for use between sessions. Margaret has graciously allowed us to offer this opportunity, in order to accommodate more people interested in making this retreat.

For anyone who has not been to St. Joseph’s Motherhouse in North Bay, it is located on the shores of Lake Nipissing. It provides a prayerful atmosphere both inside and out. There are two chapels to pray in, private dining room for retreatants, therapeutic swimming pool, large outdoor labyrinth, zen garden, Cosmic walk, and nature trails to explore. North Bay’s main waterfront is close by with ample walking.

Consider giving yourself the gift of a retreat!
