In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel disconnected— from God, from others, from nature, and even ourselves. This four day Men’s Retreat offers a powerful opportunity to step away from the noise and hustle of daily life and rediscover what truly matters.
This time will serve to provide rest, renewal and the opportunity to get away and reflect with other growth-minded men of faith. Mass & Confession will be available during the Retreat.
What to Expect:
Rest and Renewal: Experience the beauty and serenity of the breathtaking Flathead Lake, where you’ll have time for quiet reflection, rest, and renewal of your mind, body, and spirit. Expect nightly conversations around the campfire, accompanied by "...the embers & the stars, plus whiskey and cigars!”
Spiritual Growth: Through Mass, prayer, guided reflections, and teachings, you’ll deepen your relationship with God and explore your unique calling as a man of faith.
Personal Development: Engage in workshops and discussions focused on personal growth, purpose, leadership, and how to live with intention in every aspect of your life.
Nature Immersion: Reconnect with God's creation through nature walks, meditative time by the lake, and outdoor activities that will invigorate your soul and provide moments of deep peace and reflection.
Brotherhood & Community: Forge meaningful connections with fellow men on the same journey—sharing insights, challenges, and support as you grow together in faith and personal development.
