Silent retreats
“Come Away and Rest Awhile: Silent Days of Reflection”
Join us for the opportunity for a silent non-guided reflection day. Relax in your own private room, read a book, walk the grounds, pray the labyrinth or the stations of the cross, pray in our beautiful chapel. The time is yours for reflection and time with God.
The cost is $30 per person for each day of reflection. Days include continental breakfast from 8:00-9:00 am, lunch at 12:00 noon, and a room to use for the day. The day begins at 8:00 am and concludes at 4:00 pm. To register for any of these silent days, please visit the 'Register' link to the left of this page.
As an option, you may add an overnight stay to extend your private retreat. All overnight stays are subject to availability. Please call the office at (317) 545-7681 to inquire about the possibility of adding an overnight stay the night prior to or the night of your scheduled silent day. Each overnight stay is an additional $30 and includes a cold plate dinner and a room for the night.

The purpose of a silent retreat is to foster an atmosphere in which retreatants may be led to a personal encounter with God. In meeting with a spiritual director once each day and through the use of scripture and their own story, retreatants are offered the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and to grow in an awareness of the Holy Spirit working in their life.
Three directors are available for this retreat: Mary Schaffner, Kathleen Sisk, and Fr. Peter Marshall.
