Sooner or later, every thoughtful Christian asks such questions. For everyone ready to make the shift "What do I want for my life?" to "What does God want for my life?" Fr. Gallagher offers this retreat based on his book called "Discerning the Will of God, an Ignatian Guide to Christian decision making." Drawing from the timeless methods of Ignatius Loyola and richly illustrated with examples and stories, this retreat offers practical wisdom for conforming your will to God's will. Fr. Gallagher takes you through steps of the process, including opening your heart to whatever God wants; making use of silence, the Eucharist, Scripture and spiritual direction; and finding clarity (and what to do when you lack clarity).

Any young adult/adult 18+ are welcome to join us at this retreat!

Virtual Retreat Only: $30 pp
