The Secular Carmelite Community at Holy Hill offers retreats annually typically in September or October. Carmelite retreats are designed to offer an opportunity to encounter the Lord in silence and solitude. “Be still, and know that I am God” Ps 46:10. Annual retreats help strengthen our faith lives and deepen our connection with the Lord. Visitors and guests are welcome to participate in retreats. As space is limited advance registration is required.
The general format of a retreat includes a series of structured reflections given by a Carmelite Friar, Deacon or retreat master. In addition to the reflections time is set aside for personal prayer, reflection, spiritual direction, adoration, benediction, Mass, Confession and spiritual direction. Throughout each day there is also an opportunity to participate in the Liturgy of the Hours. Retreats generally begin on Friday evening and conclude Sunday after Mass. With the exception of specified fellowship or recreation times, retreats are generally silent.
