"Restless Until We Rest in You: Rediscovering God in a Distracted World"

This retreat will be an opportunity to experience silence, interior stillness, listening to God and prayer. It is patterned after the instruction given to Marte Robin in France, a mystic who survived only on the Holy Eucharist for 53 years. She could not even have a glass of water. The Blessed Mother instructed her to hold retreats that were led by a priest, in complete silence, and that it must be five days as three days was not enough to convert a soul.
This retreat will be our nineth. Attendance was between 30 to 50 participants for each one. The cost is $475.00 per person (50% off the regular price). It includes daily Mass, confessions, conferences, meals, and rooms.

Some people have difficulty with the silence, especially the digital part, for the first three days. Then they settle in, calm down, and listen. We learn to put aside the attachments of the world, for the greater things of eternity.

If you have any questions, please call (650)269-6279 between 8am-4PM M-F to speak with Deacon Dominick Peloso.
