Making a retreat is an essential element for growth in the spiritual life. \u00a0This is why\u00a0week-long retreats are mandated by canon law for bishops, priests and consecrated men and women. \u00a0Taking a few days away to be with God can help to consolidate the work that God is doing in one’s life and also help to take a few steps forward in the spiritual life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a monk and a priest, Fr. Boniface has\u00a0a special opportunity to develop the tools and talks that will help others to grow in their spiritual life. \u00a0With the commission of his\u00a0Archabbot, he\u00a0leads several\u00a0retreats each year. \u00a0Please consider taking a retreat\u00a0as a special time to grow closer to God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By taking time in prayer, you can pierce through the distractions in life to behold the infinite and unconditional love of our God, who loved us to the point of giving His own life for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n
