What Are the Retreat House Services?
Aside from our various retreat offerings, the retreat house services include spiritual direction, parish missions and group meetings. Learn more about each of St. Joseph’s services below.
Spiritual Direction
One of the key ministries that the Oblates of the Virgin Mary offer is spiritual direction. The art of spiritual direction helps the person to discern the direction of the Holy Spirit in his or her life and to develop a deeper relationship with God. Spiritual direction is provided either within the context of an individual retreat or on an ongoing basis with an Oblate priest or brother. The Oblates’ charism of direction provides an important spiritual need for the people of God in the Church today.
Those seeking spiritual direction can meet with their spiritual director monthly at St. Joseph Retreat House.
Meeting Reservations
Group meetings can either be led by an Oblate of the Virgin Mary or by an outside facilitator or retreat director.
Directed Retreats
St. Joseph Retreat House also offers individual silent retreats based on The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Through these retreats, the retreatant is provided a spiritual director that will guide them during the course of the retreat. Learn more about the types of Catholic retreats that we offer.
