The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
2025-12-08 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
Today we celebrate the Immaculate Conception, the mystery of Mary being preserved from sin from the moment of her existence. This gift prepared her to receive Christ with complete freedom and unwavering trust. Mary’s purity is not distant from us. It speaks of God’s desire to create in every heart a place where grace can take root. As we honor her, we remember that she walks with us in all our struggles, offering the gentle guidance of a mother. May this feast renew our hope, deepen our love for Christ, and draw us closer to the One who saves.

The Feast of St. Nicholas
2025-12-06 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
Happy feast of St. Nicholas, a bishop remembered for quiet generosity and compassionate leadership. Living in the fourth century, St. Nicholas used his inheritance to support struggling families, protect vulnerable children, and offer help without seeking praise. Many of the legends surrounding him reflect his deep concern for human dignity and his steady trust in God’s providence. His life reminds us that holiness often grows through small, hidden acts of mercy. As Advent continues, may St. Nicholas encourage us to give with cheerful hearts, care for those who are overlooked, and bring a sense of wonder and hope to others.

The Remarkable Roots of Christmas: Discovering the Women in Jesus’s Family Tree (2-part series)

Zoom

Register

Join us as we seek to learn more about the five women mentioned in Matthew’s Gospel as part of Jesus’s genealogy. We will look at the stories of these women to discern why it was important to the Gospel writer to mention them by name. Some questions we will consider include: Who are these women? Who are they in relation to Jesus? How are they significant, not only in their own right, but what is their significance in being included in this Gospel?

This retreat will primarily be lecture-style with time for questions and comments. Plan to have your Bible on-hand when we meet.

Please register by December 1.

After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

The Feast of St. Francis Xavier
2025-12-03 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
Today we honor St. Francis Xavier, one of the Church’s great missionaries. Born in Spain and formed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis carried the Gospel across India, Japan, and the islands of Southeast Asia. He traveled by boat, walked village paths, learned new languages, and welcomed every person he met with patience and courage. His heart burned with the desire to bring Christ’s love to those who had never heard His name. May St. Francis inspire us to step beyond what feels comfortable and share faith through simple kindness, joy, and openness to the people placed in our path.

Are you looking for the perfect retreat to begin the Advent season? This is it.

In today’s fast-paced culture, it is not uncommon to feel stressed, overworked, isolated, and unbalanced. Benedictine spirituality offers a different way. The Rule of St. Benedict, which guides the sisters of Mount St. Scholastica and all Benedictine communities, invites a life of harmonious living within ourselves, with one another, and with the earth. In this retreat we will explore some of the foundations of Benedictine spirituality through the elements of music and poetry: rhythm, silence, melody, and harmony. This experiential retreat will offer time for prayer, reflection, creative expression, and discussion.

*Includes one-night stay in a private room, breakfast and lunch on Wednesday. Our time together will begin with a social on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.

Please register by November 25.

After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

La Dolce Vita—The Sweet Life

What Italy Can Teach Us About Celebrating the Holidays More Joyfully

On-site

Register

Italy is known the world over for its storied art, significant history, superb food and exquisite wines. But beyond what tourists normally see when they visit this country is an attitude of the heart known to all Italians that allows them to see and experience the sacred and poetic in simple, mundane elements of daily living.

In this retreat, spirituality author and journalist Judith Valente, who has spent considerable time living in Italy in recent years, distills what it is about the Italian lifestyle that fosters living more mindfully and joyfully, and how we can incorporate many of those attitudes and practices into our hectic American lifestyle. We will explore the sanctity with which Italians approach the dinner table, the way they prize quality over quantity, pride themselves on personal relationships as much as professional achievements, and venerate the age-old practice of chiacchiera — chatting with others — as a way of staying connected and cultivating a sense of belonging and community. Italians are not afraid of taking time to simply do nothing. As Judith notes, “In Italy I learned to pay as much attention to my self-care as I do to my work.” We invite you to take this journey to Italy and come away with ideas for how to live la dolce vita, the Italian sweet life wherever you are.

*Our time together will begin with a social on Friday at 6:00 p.m. Cost includes private room and meals.

Please register by November 14.
