Some men from our parish will be attending a retreat at the White House Retreat again this year.  The dates for our retreat begins at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, September 24th and will conclude on Sunday, September 27th at 1:00p.m. 

Due to the pandemic the White House was closed from March to June 25th. As a result of the Covid 19 the White House is taking every precaution to keep their retreatants healthy and safe.  As you enter through the gate your temperature will be taken.  If it exceeds 100 degrees they will turn you and anyone in your car around and send you home.  Retreatants will be seated 6 feet apart in the Chapel and partitions will be placed between the retreatants in the dining room.  Meals will be plated and served.   Masks will be worn at all times, except for eating and receiving communion at Mass.  The White House normally holds 90 retreatants; however, during the pandemic they are only allowing 48 retreatants, so space will be limited. Retreatants who missed their retreat between March and June 25th will be looking to go on retreat any weekend between now and the end of the year. 

If you attend with our group you will be guaranteed a room.  Two weeks out from our retreat they will offer a space up to 48 retreatants on a first come, first served basis.  If you have been considering making a retreat then now is the time to register.  This retreat is for the men of our parish. Womens retreats are offered throughout the year and the women of the parish go together at a certain time of the year.  The grounds are pristine, the food is great, the scenery overlooking the Mississippi is spectacular and everything is being sanitized as much as possible.

If it’s your first time I guarantee you won’t regret making the retreat. 
If it’s been a long time since you attended
then do yourself a favor during these uneasy and trying times
and spend some quiet time with the Lord.
