Throughout the Gospels, Christ periodically takes time to step away from the world, and even from His disciples, to be alone with His Father. Jesus knew that after pouring Himself into His ministry, He needed to fill Himself back up by spending time alone with the Father in prayer. Retreats give us the same opportunity to fill ourselves back up by emulating Christ Himself, and reconnecting with God in personal prayer.
These days of particular dedication to the spirit are an excellent opportunity for Regnum Christi members to experience a fruitful and refreshing encounter with God and themselves. It is a time to mature and strengthen our faith, gain a deeper knowledge of ourselves in Christ, reinforce our Christian and apostolic spirit, and serenely seek God’s will and bring the profound decisions of our life into line with the Gospel.
The tranquil, natural surroundings of this 1000+ acre environment allows you to easily let go of the distractions of everyday life. Take a walk on our nature trail around St Mary’s Lake, enjoy praying at the Grotto, The outside Stations of the Cross, The Divine mercy garden, the St Therese Garden and many other prayer gardens in the campus grounds. You will have the refreshing opportunity to pray, to learn about yourself, to deepen your knowledge of the Scriptures and the Catholic faith, to seek God’s will for your life, and to experience the tremendous, personal love that Jesus Christ has for you.
