Our Taste and See June Retreats are shaped by the spirituality of St. Ignatius, which is often described as us ‘finding God in all things’. Come, taste and see God’s longing also for you ... in the silence, in nature, in scripture, in worship, and in community. All our June retreats are offered with a gentle, contemplative approach in the beautiful and restful atmosphere of Villa Madonna Retreat House.                                     

During the week of June 16-22, 2025, we are offering three (3) types of retreats: Directed, Guided-Directed, and Guided: 

DIRECTED retreats offer daily meetings with a spiritual director. Apart from  these meetings, and the Opening and Closing assemblies, retreatants choose how to use their time ... for prayer, relaxation and other helpful spiritual practices. Eucharist (Mass) and the Sacrament of Reconciliation are options in our schedule for those who desire these opportunities.  

GUIDED - DIRECTED retreats offer brief theme presentations, guided prayer experiences, suggestions for personal prayer, ample space to reflect and rest, and at least one opportunity to meet with a spiritual companion if desired. 

GUIDED retreats include one or more presentations, guided prayer exercises, suggestions and, at times, the opportunity to share in small groups.    

More information on the retreats can be found here.

Perhaps one of our June 2025 retreats might be God’s invitation to you.
