An 8-day discernment retreat for those contemplating priesthood or religious life.

This rare opportunity for an 8-day silent retreat in the Ignatian tradition is open to those who think they might have a call to some form of consecrated life or priesthood. While it can sometimes be difficult discerning God’s call, there is a way to hear his voice and reach clarity.

St. Ignatius of Loyola gave the Church the “Spiritual Exercises” to souls attain the peace of God’s will and the grace to decide upon it. With conferences by Fr. John O’Brien, S.J. and with a team of spiritual directors, this unique offering is open to men and women, age 39 and under, and takes place in the beautiful prairie setting of Saskatchewan in the summer.
