Upcoming IN PERSON Women's Retreats at Christ the King Retreat Center:

Beloved and Becoming

Weekend Retreat | October 22–25, 2026

Presenter | Brother Ralph Cordero, S.J.

This retreat invites us to rest first in God’s deep delight in us. From that place of belovedness, we listen for Christ’s invitations and the gentle ways he is shaping our lives. As we encounter his mercy and friendship, we grow in the freedom to follow him with discernment, trust, and love.

Laboring with Christ to Heal Our Wounded World

Midweek Retreat | November 10–12, 2026

Presenter | Susan Stabile

St. Ignatius understood that each of us—not just a small group of select people, but every one—is called to labor with Christ to make manifest God’s vision for humankind. What does that call look like to us today? And what do we need to respond wholeheartedly to that invitation? During this time of retreat, we will explore key elements of Ignatian Spirituality and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius that are aimed at helping us to grow in our readiness to co-labor with Christ to bring to our world the healing it so desperately needs.
