The Rev. Larry Gillick, SJ, will present an Ignatian Silent Retreat titled, “I Must Stay at Your House Today.” (Luke 19:1-11) at Saint Benedict Center, four miles north of Schuyler, on June 6 - 9, 2024. These days will be spent in reflecting on what it means to be at “home” with the mystery of God, the person of Jesus and the discernment of spirits within my personal “home.” Fr. Gillick will give six conferences oriented toward abundant time for prayer, reading and writing. Each day we will celebrate the Eucharist and end with a silent group reflection on the day. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available. Meals as well as the rest of the days will be in prayerful silence.
