Retreats and Outreach Programs

 

We are a family of ministries at Villa Maria Community Center that serves the spiritual and educational needs of adults, children, and youth.

VMESC Programs - Brochure or Programs at a Glance 2008

Spiritual retreats and conferences by nationally known presenters provide opportunities for renewal and contemplation. Retreat program facilities and guest services are available to individuals/groups whose religious or educational gatherings are in harmony with the mission and philosophy of the Sisters of the Humility of Mary.

Conference or Guided retreats offer participants retreats focused on a theme and allow time for personal prayer and solitude.

Directed retreats offer an extended time for prayer and the opportunity to meet daily with a director. Personal retreats can also be arranged for anyone seeking time to get away for reflection and solitude.

The Retreat in Everyday Life, based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, lasts six to eight months. One of VMESC's experienced directors meets with each retreatant once or twice a month.

The Villa Maria campus - with its woodlands, pond, outdoor shrines, nature paths, herb garden and Labyrinth - provides the perfect setting for contemplation and renewal. A Chapel with daily Eucharist, a library and an indoor pool are available to retreatants.

Check the web calendar for upcoming programs.
