Enlightenment. Conversion. Transformation.
Allowing Oneself to be Filled with God

Held last January 26-28th, 2024 in Ocean City, NJ for a weekend of prayer, discussion, and fraternity with a focus on the virtue of patience and reserve. 

Participants enjoyed a restful weekend on the beach while growing in faith and brotherhood. This weekend provided an opportunity to view the unique call to live as a man of faith while learning from other men embracing the same call.

Hear From Previous Retreatants:

  • “The zeal and love for the LORD was palpable in the presentations. All presentations demonstrated that careful prayer and planning were done”
  • “Loved the extensive time in prayer.”
  • “The group prayer was powerful and filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit. The additional rosary reflections, liturgy of the hours, and confessions with our Augustinian visiting priest set my spirit on fire for the Lord!”
  • “We were able to be vulnerable and embrace some discomfort in our efforts to move towards strong community.”
  • “Cigars, Bourbon, theological and philosophical conversation with men on fire for the Lord. What’s not to love?”
  • “I have never experienced such a well planned hospitality. I felt wanted, taken care of, and comfortable. The food was phenomenal. The lodging was so comfortable and refreshing.”
