IN TIMES OF CHAOS, UNCERTAINTY AND UNREST,
God offers you the gift
of plentiful redemption.
Welcome to the Redemptorist Retreat Center
The Retreat Center will resume programs starting July 1, 2020
To make your stay more pleasant, safe, and worry-free we have made some changes here at the Retreat Center in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Center for Disease Control guidelines for dealing with such. When you register for a retreat you will receive a letter outlining the guidelines for a safe retreat. We want you to know that your safety as well as the safety of our other guests and our staff members is foremost in our mind.
We look forward to having you at the Retreat Center in the near future.
THE LATEST NEWS
UPCOMING RETREATS
March 29 - April 3
Holy Week Silent
Preached Retreat
"Walking With Jesus to Jerusalem and Redemption"
Holy Week is more than a nostalgic remembrance of events that took place long ago. It is happening right now. In the midst of our own struggles with discipleship Jesus continues to show us the meaning of life and living it to its fullest. In this way and by aligning ourselves to him we not only remember the events of Holy Week 2,000 years ago but how we are cast into our own Holy Week always seeing Our Lord as the example. We are the disciples.
Whatever our present state of life may be, the Holy Week retreat offers us time to quietly reflect, time to receive input, time to celebrate the Church’s special Liturgies of this week, and time to renew our own call to discipleship. The closer we connect with Jesus during this “week of all weeks” the closer we will be to understanding the elements that make up our own journey of faith.Come join us for the journey!
MARCH 5 - 7
Weekend Silent Preached Retreat for Men
"Living in a Time of Plentiful Redemption"
Plentiful redemption is not a concept to be looked for after our life has ended. Plentiful redemption is alive at this very moment. When we come to realize this gift we can more easily face today with a sense of gratitude and joyfulness so we can, in turn, live the Good News.
The silent weekend preached retreat offers time for private prayer and rest, group meditation, Spiritual Conferences, daily Eucharist, an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, spiritual consultation, Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, Lectio Divina, and enjoying the beautiful grounds.

TOUR OUR BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS
EXPLORE OUR RETREAT CENTER
The Redemptorist Retreat Center was established as a place for you to rest, reflect and renew. From the peaceful lake to the lush woods, our surroundings invite you to step back from your daily life and spend time in prayer with the Lord. Explore our history, mission and retreat offerings and find your place here.
ABOUT US
In 1927, Lindbergh had flown over the Atlantic and Admiral Byrd had flown over the North Pole. There were transatlantic telephone calls and even movies that talked. All this “progress” had a way of distracting people away from God and so it was with the idea of bringing men and women back to God that the Redemptorists began the retreat movement in Oconomowoc.
HOST YOUR OWN GROUP
We welcome you to visit our retreat center any time. Interested in bringing a group to spend a weekend with us, but not finding the program you need? Consider hosting your own. These are retreats sponsored by the Center but facilitated by outside individuals. These conferences typically last over three or four days.
PERSONAL RETREATS
Often, there is no greater gift than time for personal prayer and reflection; a little quiet, a little space and a little time. We offer individual apartment-style spaces for personal retreats, sponsored by the Center but facilitated by outside individuals, typically lasting over three or four days. We are flexible in order to give you what you need.
