The Robert Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat Center

 



Join us April 16-18 for peer talks, Mass, small group faith sharing, individual reflection, music, and other community-building activities as we discover God’s call to live our faith. Together we will explore the elements of St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, finding how God has been present in our lives, considering how to put our faith into action, and becoming more fully women and men for others. We extend a special invitation to all those who are newcomers to the area, have been away from the Church, or are looking for a faith community.

The retreat begins late Friday evening and ends in the early afternoon on Sunday. Bellarmine Retreat Center is located in Blue Ridge, PA about an hour and a half from DC and Baltimore, two and a half hours from Philadelphia. Carpools are available. Our chaplain will be Father Greg Schenden, SJ, and we will be joined by Martina O’Shea for spiritual direction. The retreat fee is just $100 and includes meals (light dinner on Friday night through lunch on Sunday), lodging, and all materials. If cost is prohibitive, please contact Father Greg through the PDF links below. Space is limited! Registration is accepted on a first come, first served basis. Priority registration is April 4, 2010.
