Types of Retreats Offered

---

Regular Silent Retreats

The weekend retreats (and some two-day midweek retreats) are organised through the generous service of captains who volunteer to register retreatants. Reservations for the scheduled retreats are made with the captains whose names, phone numbers, and email addresses appear in this brochure. All phone numbers are Calgary unless otherwise stated. You may register with any captain of a particular retreat. Your registration with the captain is your confirmation.

These retreats begin with check-in on Friday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm with supper at 7:00 pm. Silence begins with the first session. Eucharist is celebrated on both Saturday and Sunday and a reconciliation service during the retreat. The retreat ends with lunch on Sunday finishing by 1:00 pm.
