A CONTEMPLATIVE SABBATICAL PROGRAM
ST. JOSEPH RETREAT CENTER
January 13, 2014 - March 6, 2014

This 53 day Sabbatical Program is open to women and men religious, clergy and lay people of all denominations. This Contemplative Sabbatical is designed to enhance personal renewal. Quiet time and solitude are priorities supplemented by reflective input by experienced staff members and opportunities to enhance one's spiritual development and prayer. Some days, most afternoons and all evenings are personal time for reading, resting, exercising, praying, or exploring the area. Weekly Spiritual Direction is available. Come and participate in as many Morning, Day and Weekend programs as you wish.The program is not built on establishing community but this might happen in the silence. You can make arrangements to come earlier for additional private time, if you desire.

You will absolutely fall in love with the beauty of the Retreat Center immediately situated on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is God's outside décor of visuals and sound beyond description during the day and throughout the night but the ambiance of the over 130 year old center is so attractive, clean and welcoming. Thirteen of its sixteen bedrooms as well as the living room, dining room and chapel have an ocean view.

God is waiting to be gracious to you. (Isaiah 30)
