News Release: Retreat with Father Larry Gillick

The Rev. Larry Gillick, SJ, will present a retreat titled, Listening in the Gardens at Saint Benedict Center, four miles north of Schuyler, on February 27 – March 1, 2020.

During these early days of Lent, we will pray with the three gardens of our Redemptive History. Lent is the time for personal and communal preparation for the renewal of our baptismal ordinations and life orientation. On this Ignatian Silent Retreat, there will be scripture-based conferences with plenty of time for hearing, listening and comforting of spirit. Reverent silence will surround us while we allow God to pray around and within us.
