The retreat will begin on Friday with an 8pm Rosary and Mass. The retreat will conclude Sunday with Mass and noon lunch.

Men of all ages and walks of life are invited to attend the “Equipped to be Men of Prayer” retreat, led by Bishop Robert Finn. The retreat will include teachings from St. Josemaria Escriva, the Founder of Opus Dei. Attendees are invited to embrace this time of rest, quiet, and renewal in the presence of Christ.

The retreat aims to strengthen attendees’ intimacy with Jesus and renew their live of prayer while living in the daily life of the world.

Includes opportunities for confession, Holy Mass, silent times for prayer, adoration, and personal reflection.

Throughout the weekend, participants will be encouraged to take part in the sacraments and contemplative prayer, providing space to draw nearer to God.

Private Retreat
Thank you for your excellent vineyard work, assisting God in hugging His people!
I so appreciate getting to visit with Holy Spirit in your oasis of holiness.
And, thank you for your gracious hospitality, giving me a room, near the entrance, so I could care for my dog, outside. God bless you and His angels hug you.

A Wonderful Respite
I was able to enjoy two days away at the Retreat Center and was so blessed by the comfortable accommodations, the beautiful grounds, the Mass times, and the personal spiritual direction. Everyone was so welcoming and I was fully able to enjoy the presence of Christ in this serene setting. Thank you for your ministry!

Wonderful Retreat
The timing was perfect for a silent retreat between groups of large group retreats. I was nearly alone for my prayerful days with God. I had the chapel to myself all day long. Meals were prepared and placed in the refrigerator for whenever eating worked into my schedule. The food was good. The bed was comfortable, and I slept very well. The center was quiet, and staff members were helpful and kind. Father said Mass each morning and was available for spiritual direction. The 80 acres was beautiful. God led my much needed retreat, and I was grateful to God and to everyone at Our Lady of Good Counsel for making it happen.
