Looking for a Retreat

[SeekNFind]

I’m thinking about doing a retreat in the fall, either with a group or on my own. Does anyone know of any retreats coming up on the East Coast (between NY and VA) this fall? Or does anyone know of any retreat centers in the same area that are reasonably priced for a 1-2 night stay? Thank you!

One idea might be to ring a Convent and ask some of the Nuns as they go on Retreat themselves to other Retreat Houses, or Nuns who conduct retreats.

Well if you want to travel just a little further than NY, there is

Holy Family Retreat Center in West Hartford Connecticut

holyfamilyretreat.org/

This is run by the Passionist’s who’s stock and trade is Catholic retreat ministry.

They run structured retreats, in that you follow a schedule for group prayer, Mass and talks. They’re plenty of time for private prayer and meditation. It’s a good place to start for some one who’s never been on a retreat.

There is also St Mary’s in Petersham, Massachusettts.

This is a Benedictine monastery which also has an attached Priory, St Scholastica’s.

The retreats are non-directed and you stay in the guest house. Beautiful Area of Massachusetts,

Also, they use the Novus Ordo format, but the parts of the Mass are in Latin. Thursday, the entire Mass is in Latin.

Just click on “Guesthouse,” for info about reserving a room for a retreat.

Note, there is absolutely no public transportation and it’s in a very rural area. So if you don’t drive yourself, could be a problem.

In Christ

Thank you all for the list of options.

The last time I was on a retreat was in high school.

The retreat in buffalo sounds good and the price is right but I can’t do that weekend. I’ll check to see if they have any others coming up.

Oh, one more place is the National Shrine of Divine Mercy, in Stockbridge, MA, which is only a few miles from the New York border.

They have a guest house.

The Shrine has the Benediction, Mass and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily.

You can call and see if they also offer spiritual guidance and such.
