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:What is a Charism?  How do we discern these spiritual gifts and where to use them? 
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN:    Click on the above heading for more information and registration.  \n\n\n\nCharisms are special gifts of the Holy Spirit which are bestowed on individuals for the good of others\, the needs of the world\, and in particular for the building up of the Church.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church\, 799-800)   \n\n\n\nJoin us for this interactive and reflective workshop where we will learn about the Charisms\, how to know which ones we are called and gifted to use in our current season of life\, and what to say yes and no to as a result so we can make our contribution to build God’s Kingdom.

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: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? You can!  For the suggested offering of $ 990.00 pp.\, you may join both of his retreats – this one and his 5-day retreat – June 8 – 12.  Please contact the office for more details. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by  Fr.

SUMMARY:How to Build Resilience around Habit Change:  From Resistance to Perseverance
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN:    Click on the above heading for more information and registration.  \n\n\n\n“Be renewed in the spirit of your minds\, and put on the new man\, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4: 23-24)   \n\n\n\nLasting change comes through spiritual renewal and the transformation of one’s mind\, not just willpower. Abandoning old behaviours to create new habits requires spiritual strength and emotional resilience. Join us for this interactive workshop and reflection day where we will look at how our awareness of undesired habits\, beliefs that keep us stuck\, and discontentment of these behaviours and results\, can assist us in building the emotional resistance and conviction needed to persevere in creating habits and outcomes we want. We will share insightful tools and practical tips. \n\n\n\nCome away for a while and be refreshed by walking the grounds\, having a nice meal together\, praying\, and fellowshipping 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-July11\,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
