Summer Program

This event is for priests and those in formation for the ordained priesthood only

Providing the opportunity for a deep, immersive experience, the Summer Program provides an integrative, month-long spiritual journey. Divided into 4 weeklong segments, you’ll encounter a variety of settings, yet find a program with integrated daily prayer and sacraments with an intentional rhythm to foster personal and spiritual growth in a restful environment.

WEEK ONE: RESTORING THE GLORY 

Anchored in Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, you’ll encounter the richness of God’s plan for every man and woman. Experience the tender Fatherhood of God, bringing you into greater Security, Maturity, and Purity. This powerful week will awaken you to your true identity as a beloved son of the Father. 

WEEK TWO: SILENT RETREAT 

The depth of week 1 is followed by a guided silent retreat, leading you through the four identities of the Priesthood: Beloved Son, Brother, Father and Bridegroom. Includes adoration, daily Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Spiritual Direction. 

WEEK THREE: HEALING THE WHOLE PERSON 

Experience Jesus in His mission of healing. Physical, spiritual and emotional healing, central to the Church’s life and 2,000-year tradition, come to life today. The uniquely engaging format will help you see and experience God’s healing love in the areas of our brokenness through teaching, personal prayer, personal reflection, adoration and the Sacraments.  

WEEK FOUR: EQUIPPING FOR PASTORAL MINISTRY 

Learn to facilitate prayer in the confidence of I AM (Inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Abiding in God, and Moving in union with Him). You’ll see how healing prayer is an essential dimension of the Church’s life, through Scripture, Church teaching, & Sacred Tradition. Additionally, you will discover the ways you can personally help people encounter God and walk in greater freedom.
