RETREATS

Mayslake Ministries is commited to offering Sacred Time and Sacred Space to all those who seek a quiet time away from the hectic pace of life. We offer a wide variety of scheduled retreats in assorted locations throughout the Chicago area for Catholics and Christians of all denominations.

Who Is A Retreat For?

People just like you who desire to set aside some quiet with their God.

In this sacred, searching time, one reflects on questions such as:

• Where is my life going? 
• Am I walking in God's will for me?
• What do I need to lay at the foot of the Cross?
• Do I fully realize God's presence is with me during these times I am going through now?
• Am I living in daily awareness of my God's incredible love for me?
• How can I allow this time away to bring my Spirit back to life so that I am able to live each day with gratitude and peace?
• Can I hear the voice of God who speaks in silence?
