    • Spiritual Direction

      One of the chief ministries at the House of Prayer is spiritual direction. Spiritual direction is spiritual companionship, in a confidential setting, that assists a person in noticing God’s presence in their lives and ministries. There is no cost involved.

      Directed Retreats

      A Silent Directed Retreat is one in which you meet daily with a spiritual director to assist you in your prayer and in discerning God’s call to action in your life. Silent Directed Retreats are typically five or eight days and can be arranged at any time of the year.

      Private Retreats

      A Private Retreat is one in which you are on your own, using quiet time, Scripture, spiritual reading and other means to assist you during your retreat. Private retreats can be arranged at any time of the year.

      Preached Retreats

      Preached retreats last five days and involve two or more conferences per day. Eucharist, gathering for prayer and faith-sharing are also included. These retreats typically begin with lunch on Monday and conclude with lunch on Friday. There is ample time for quiet and prayer.

    Days of Recollection
    • Each priest is encouraged to make a monthly private day of recollection. The statutes of the Archdiocese provide for this, in addition to the weekly day off. You may come and spend a half day, or you can arrange to stay overnight to get the benefit of a full day of rest and prayer. We also offer preached Days of Recollection during Advent, Lent and before the Chrism Mass. You will be guided through conferences and prayer to reflect on and renew your spiritual self in this group setting. Below is a sample schedule of our typical Day of Recollection.

      10 a.m.- Opening Conference
      11 a.m. - Sacrament of Reconciliation or Private Prayer
      Noon - Lunch
      1 p.m. - Conference
      2:45 p.m. - Closing Prayer
