photosynthesis Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I'm thinking about spending Holy Week at a discernment retreat. Some Daughters of St. Paul invited me to their retreat which is @ their Motherhouse in Boston, and I'm thinking about accepting... but I'm also wondering if other orders do this, and if so, which ones? I love the Daughters of St. Paul but I'm not sure if I have the money to go all the way to Boston.
HisChild Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Wow that sounds awesome! We have so many devotions at our parish during Holy Week, including a retreat, that this is where I'll stay. After all, it's my last parish Holy week. . . Good luck and God bless you if you do wind up going!
shortnun Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Oooooooooh this sounds like such a wonderful idea!!!!!!!! I've not heard of communities that offer things like this. But, I'll have to think about looking into this more! Photo... prayers for you as you discern visiting with the Daughters of St. Paul then!
magnificat Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Very cool...there is another community that I've heard of doing something similar...unfortunately, I can't remember which at the moment. It sounds like it'd be awesome to spend Holy week with a community. Unfortunately, I'm so busy doing church stuff around that time that several people would definately be highly upset if I went AWOL for a week!
Charms717RM1 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I'd like to spend a retreat somewhere during Holy Week- but I won't be able to this year. But I am going on one of those Jesuit retreats next week...
ThyWillBeDone Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I wish I could go on a retreat this holy week, but I am one of the "lucky" seminarians who is part of the Diocesian Ceremonies Crew so I will spending all week (except wednesday) at the Cathedral helping run the liturgies. It may sound fun and it is, for a while but it gets boring fast, lots of time waiting around. God Bless
Guest trfr415 Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I am not going on a Holy Week Retreat per se. But I am doing a little "personal" one with my family and some fellow parishioners. Hope yours goes well in Boston.
TeresaAvila Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 No I won't be going on an "official" retreat during holy week, as I will most likely end up working part of holy week but will be singing in the choir for holy saturday vigil and also plan to be apart of all the other parish services and spending most of my free time in adoration, so in a way I will be having my own personal retreat!
shortnun Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 It's not really close for me to go. But if anyone lives out west (particularly Oregon), you may want to check out the [b][url="http://www.op.org/stbenedicts/HWRetreat.html"]Holy Week Retreat at the Dominican Retreat Center.[/url][/b]
HisChild Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 I hear that center is beautiful. I know someone who was a Western Province Dominican novice and was able to visit there during his retreat.

magnificat Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 That Dominican retreat looks beautiful...too bad it's so far away.
