DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR  MEN & WOMEN:  As autumn arrives\, we have this time for a quiet reflection on our longings\, our hungers\, our desires. What is it that I yearn for in my life? What have I always wanted? Do I dream of things long gone?  \n\n\n\nThe Psalms can help us clarify\, or perhaps distill\, those longings which give us life. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by:  Fr.

SUMMARY:Praying with the Sermon on the Mount.
DESCRIPTION:MEN & WOMEN IGNATIAN – The Sermon on the Mount as found in the Gospel of Matthew summarizes Jesus’ moral teachings. In some way it can be compared to the famous 1963 speech “I Have a Dream” by Rev. Martin Luther King. King who obviously was inspired by Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount 2000 years ago\, was therefore inspired by God to lay out his teaching on racial equality and social justice. Jesus in his sermon give us all the tools to live good Christian lives and be examples of God’s love and mercy for our neighbours. \n\n\n\n Facilitated by Fr.

SUMMARY:How to Prioritize Values and Set Boundaries with your Time.
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN: Click on the above heading for more information and registration.  \n\n\n\n“For everything there is a season\, and a time for every matter under heaven.” (Eccl 3:1) \n\n\n\nJesus never seemed to hurry. He always made time to be with people and to be alone with the Father in prayer. Time is a gift from God and our decisions about how to best steward it must come from acknowledging that our lives belong to Him. Prioritizing prayer and Sabbath rest will guide us to make wise choices\, and setting appropriate boundaries will allow us to protect what is most important. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this interactive workshop reflection day where you will learn values-based time management strategies\, gain tips for creating a workable to-do list and not-do list\, tools for how to say no to activities that waste time and distract us from our goals and priorities\, and insights into the benefits of making time for communal and individual prayer and rest. \n\n\n\nCome away for a while from the busyness of life to pray\, reflect\, connect\, grow together\, share a meal\, enjoy the lovely grounds\, and celebrate Mass with other Women of Faith. \n\n\n\nFor more information and to register\, please contact Veronica at boutiquecoachingconnections@gmail.com. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by:  Veronica Lujbicic \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Veronica-Sept.12\,2026Download

SUMMARY:God meets us in the Mist.   A retreat for times of uncertainty and transition.
DESCRIPTION:MEN & WOMEN 8 – DAY SILENT RETREAT: At each stage of life\, and in altered circumstances\, or in times of loss\, we experience discomforting change. Such times can make us anxious and fearful. We can lose a sense of identity and experience challenges to faith and trust. We sometimes find ourselves in the “mists of life” where even God feels absent and we don’t know where to turn. Yet it can be exactly in the mist that God waits to meet us. Writer\, Gillian Deacon asks\, “what are we missing?” Could it be that the “rush toward certainty is keeping us from something? Something better?” Perhaps these very times are hidden gifts\, calling us to ‘the more’\, to deeper intimacy with God\, to greater meaning\, to freedom of spirit\, joy and peace. \n\n\n\nThrough prayer\, presentations\, Sacrament\, spiritual accompaniment and sharing and guided by the riches of Ignatian Spirituality\, we will enter gently into contemplative reflection on our questions of heart and spirit. Where is God in the ‘here and now’? What are the graces of today? How might I discern God’s present and unfolding call to me? \n\n\n\nThe retreat is a warm invitation to be with God in quietness and with one another as we open ourselves to the fullness of life which Christ promises always and for which we were created.  \n\n\n\nThis 8-day retreat\, begins on Wednesday afternoon with dinner and ends with lunch on Thursday. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Sr. Mary Rowell\, csj \n\n\n\n\n\n8-dayRetreat-July22-30\,2026(Sr.Mary)Download

SUMMARY:"Illuminating the Darkness." Navigating Dark and Tumultuous Times with the Tools of the Spirit

SUMMARY:Faith and Hope:  Radical Trust\, the Path to God. 
DESCRIPTION:MEN & WOMEN IGNATIAN –  Faith is often confused with doctrine or theology but there is little or no actual connection. Faith is trust in the loving kindness and care of God even when the going gets rough. Hope is not optimism; hope is the  reward of faith. \n\n\n\nWant to make this an 8-day retreat experience with Fr. Scott?

SUMMARY:Receive the Holy Spirit. 
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR MEN & WOMEN:    The experience of Pentecost moved the disciples from fearful hiding to bold proclamation of the Good News\, generous sharing with others in community and a   radically new understanding of who God is.  In his book “Reaching Out\,” Henri Nouwen offers insight into this threefold movement of the Holy Spirit: moving us from loneliness to solitude\, from hostility to hospitality and from illusion to prayer. “To live our short lives in the spirit of Jesus Christ\, means to reach out from the midst of our pains and to let them be turned into joy by the love of the One who came within our reach.”  \n\n\n\nOn this 30th anniversary of Henri Nouwen’s death\, Mary Bastedo\, who lived with Henri during his ten years as pastor of L’Arche Daybreak in Richmond Hill\, will help us explore Henri’s wisdom and its relevance for today. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by:   Mary Bastedo \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-May25\,2026(Bastedo)Download

SUMMARY:Glimpsing the Risen Christ.
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR MEN & WOMEN:   We proclaim that Christ is indeed risen from the dead – not merely as a spirit\, but in a body that his disciples could see and touch.  He shares a meal\, invites Thomas to place his finger in the wounds of his hands and side\, and makes his presence known in tangible ways.  However\, some never see him.  Most do not immediately recognize him when they do see him: Mary   Magdalene mistakes him for a gardener\, while the beloved disciple recognizes the Lord at once.    \n\n\n\nOn this Day of Recollection\, we will reflect on some of the encounters with the risen Christ found in Scripture\, and explore some ways we\, too\, can be open to  personally meeting the risen Christ today. \n\n\n\n Facilitated by:   Fr. Chris Llanos\, SJ  \n\n\n\nDOR-Apr.27\,2026(Llanos)Download

SUMMARY:When Life Stretches Us:  An Ignatian Retreat on Resilience
DESCRIPTION:WOMEN IGNATIAN –  This Ignatian retreat on resilience invites participants to receive resilience not first as a personal achievement\, but as a grace given by God and nurtured through relationship with God.   Through prayer and reflection\, retreatants are helped to notice how resilience grows as they learn to remain faithful in moments of struggle\, discouragement\, and uncertainty\, rather than fleeing from them. Scripture offers rich models of resilience—figures such as Hannah\, David\, Job\, and Jesus himself—who trust God amid trial and allow suffering to deepen\, rather than diminish\, their freedom. In the Ignatian tradition\, resilience is strengthened by honest self-awareness\, discernment\, and attentiveness to God’s presence in both consolation and desolation.    Ultimately\, the retreat reveals resilience as essential to growing trust and hope\, enabling us to persevere with confidence that God is at work even when outcomes are unclear. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by:   Fr.

SUMMARY:Soul-Making by Grace: Encountering God's Love through Meditations on Purgatory
DESCRIPTION:MEN IGNATIAN –  In recent decades\, purgatory has come to occupy a more marginal place within Catholic spirituality—viewed by some primarily as a place of suffering\, by others as a source of superstition\, and largely ignored by many. In his recent book\, Soul-Making by Grace\, Fr. Matthew Hendzel argues for the continuing relevance of purgatory within the life of faith. Challenging the idea that purgatory is concerned solely with the notion of divine satisfaction and painful self-reformation\, he proposes a broader vision of how God’s grace may be at work during this time—one that includes not only purification\, but also spiritual growth and even healing.  \n\n\n\nDrawing on the themes of this book\, Fr. Matthew’s retreat will invite participants to explore how these “purgatorial” dynamics may already be present in their own lives. Through a series of talks\, periods of prayer\, and guided reflection\, participants will be encouraged to consider how God might be using the ordinary—and sometimes difficult—experiences of life as invitations to a deeper awareness of divine love\, and to a more generous response to that love. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by  Fr. Matthew Hendzel\, SJ  \n\n\n\n\n\nFlyer-March20-22\,2026(Hendzel)Download
