Retreatants will stay in the monastery guest quarters, participating in Holy Mass and joining the nuns in singing the Divine Office and in other common prayers. In addition to hearing conferences on the meaning of a religious vocation and aspects of the contemplative Dominican charism, they will have the opportunity to talk with the Vocation Directress, and above all to experience the atmosphere of peace and Our Lord’s presence in Eucharistic Adoration and private prayer. There will also be time for some vocation stories and recreation with the other retreatants.

 

Single, practicing Catholic young women, juniors in high school through age 27, who are interested in learning more about a Dominican monastic vocation are invited tocontact the Vocation Directress about attending our July 2013 Vocation Retreat.
