Men's Retreat: "Give Them Some Food Yourselves!" (Mark 6:37) (Br. Schaefer, OSB, Dn. Capoun, and Fr. Leitner, OSB)


“He was always willing to put what he’d been given in service to others.” (Film, The Miracle of Father Kapoun). During this weekend, we are invited ever anew to encounter Christ in Holy Scripture, to be formed as disciples by his teaching and his example, and to use our resources generously in nourishing others and caring for them. This retreat will help us listen to Christ throughout this year and put into practice what we have understood. The schedule includes brief conferences, silence, Mass, Confession, fellowship, and spiritual direction. Open to all ages. Scholarships are available.
