ABOUT MANRESA RETREAT:

This retreat offers students an opportunity to explore in more depth some of life's ultimate questions - Who am I? What are my priorities?  How do I maintain a sense of balance in my life?  Where and how has God been present in my life?

The retreat is rooted in and introduces students to Ignatian spirituality, especially the First Principle & Foundation (no. 23 in the Spiritual Exercises). Manresa is one of the places where St. Ignatius stopped on his journey, and it was at Manresa that the ideas for what are now known as the Spiritual Exercises began to take shape. This retreat is opent to students of all faith backgrounds; NO prior retreat experience is required.

The retreat will be led by a team of students and offers ample time for large and small group discussions and activities, as well as individual prayer and reflection, communal prayer, and free time. 

The retreat is usually held at Villa Maria Retreat Center in Villa Maria, PA (just outside of Youngstown). We will leave Friday at 4:30 and return Sunday late afternoon. If you attend the retreat, you must be able to stay for the entire time period (arriving late or leaving early is not permitted). The cost of the retreat is $60 which includes transportation, five meals, private bedroom, and materials. Financial aid is available and no one will be turned away due to insufficient funds.

If you are interested in making one of these retreats or finding out more about it, you may call Paula Fitzgerald at (216) 397-4709 or e-mail her.
