Life can be hectic and constantly changing. There are decisions to be made, schedules to keep and one's spiritual life can sometimes fall by the wayside. A retreat can bring back the focus to spirituality and reconnect one to God. It is not often that people will stop and reflect on their blessings and their spirituality without interruption, so a retreat provides the perfect opportunity. Quiet reflection, prayer, taking the time to hear God's message are benefits of a retreat. The Diocese of Kalamazoo is offering a variety of retreat opportunities. We encourage a yearly retreat to strengthen your faith and love of God and to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist during this Year of the Eucharist.
