All Souls Fall Quiet Day

October 26 • 9a–5p

Mount Assisi Convent Retreat Center
13900 Main St
Lemont, IL

Come join the Souls to retreat into God’s presence for a quiet day of prayer and meditation. The retreat will begin with Morning Prayer in San Damiano Hall on the grounds of Mount Assisi Convent.  Mother Miriam, Mother Superior of the Community of St Mary’s Convent in New York will lead retreat participants in guided meditations after both Morning and Noonday Prayer, after which we will enter into silence. We will break silence at Noon for a boxed lunch picnic on the grounds, and fellowship and sharing. Silence will resume at 1:00p, and we will end with a brief service of Evening Prayer at 4:30p. 

We will have use of San Damiano Hall throughout the day as well their several acres of beautiful, forested grounds for walks in view of the colors of late fall.  

Retreat is one of our traditional Anglican practices. It allows us to experience an extended time apart from our busy lives for the purpose of being with God and giving him our undivided attention. Retreat provides us with the gift of time to remember and reflect on the ways the Father loves us and wants to deepen his relationship with us. It is a time of refreshment and grace. It also is a time to enjoy fellowship with our fellow pilgrims who yearn for the peace and love of Christ. 

The cost is $20 payable the day of the retreat by check, Venmo, or cash. For students the cost will be $10. The box lunch is included. Please register by October 17.

Come away with us!
