PRIVATE RETREATS WITH THE SOCIETY OF OUR MOTHER OF PEACE
The Society of Our Mother of Peace conducts private retreats, providing not only room and board to
retreatants, but also guidance and spiritual direction for those who express the desire for it. Since
these are private retreats, the choice of subject matter is left to each participant. We do have some
suggestions, however, that may be helpful to retreatants, especially those who have never made a
private retreat before. They are free to choose, combine, adapt, etc whatever is suggested... and
may even decide to offer a few suggestions to add to our list of possible plans and themes.
