Join us!
We will reflect on healthy grieving as we review the Grief Cycle, Grief Process and Healing Journey; recognizing that we all move through our grief in our own unique way!
In this time of complicated uncertainties we are all emotionally and spiritually challenged. Because of all the changes, non-death loses and our death losses, there is a survival need to become more aware of your inner strengths and resilience. Within the beautiful natural setting of the Redemptorist Retreat Center, your spirit will be renewed and refreshed.
Please consider joining us as we pray, reflect, share and laugh together.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is a supportive, compassionate grief gathering for those who have lost a loved one, whether recently or long ago.

Comments from our guests:
“The Retreat Center is where I strive to ground myself in our merciful and grace-filled Faith. There is peace in the quiet where I can escape for the weekend from the demands and pressures of the world. My mind is joyously emptied from those burdens. I emerge reenergized at the conclusion of the retreat. Thank you for providing these opportunities!”
