Come to me all you who labor and find life burdensome, and I will give you rest.

(Matthew 11:28)

"Rest" is one of those electric words--charged-up and redefined in the divine vocabulary.   What new meaning, what mystery lies in the invitation to rest ?   Only those who dare to come and lay down their burdens know the deeper meaning of rest.

St. Joseph’s offers a variety of retreat styles: directed retreats, guided retreats, and preached retreats.  The traditional Directed Retreats (Thirty Day and Eight Day) hold primary place in the scheduling.  The length of stay for a Directed Retreat experience can be flexible if the scheduling permits. Preached Retreat Weekends, Desert Days, and Days/Evenings of Recollection are also scheduled throughout the year.  For more information, a calendar of events, and pricing information follow the appropriate links on this page.
