Women’s Retreats
A silent retreat is a special time to break from the usual activities of life, a time to reflect and to ask yourself: How is life going? Where is my life heading? Where is God in all this? How is my relationship with God? It is a time to assess the present and to apply resolutions in a practical way to your daily life.
Retreats include daily Mass, time for personal prayer and talks on central themes related to living a Christian life within the circumstances of ordinary, daily life. There are also opportunities for the Sacrament of Confession and personal spiritual direction. The retreat is coordinated by Heathgrove (heathgrove.org.au), where the spiritual and doctrinal activities are entrusted to Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church (opusdei.org.au).
