The Invitation
What Awaits You in Valyermo
1
Power of the Sacrament
Daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and the sacrament of Confession. Where walls come down and hearts are opened.
2
Spiritual Direction
One-on-one time with a priest. Space to ask the questions you’ve been afraid to speak aloud.
3
Witness Talk, Fraternity, Silence
Priests of our Diocese share their stories, the struggle, the grace, the leap of faith. No theories. Only lived truth. The high-desert stillness of the Abbey. Shared meals. Late conversations. Brothers in the same searching.
Much like the apostles who waited in the Upper Room, uncertain, praying, yet full of hope, we gather again at St. Andrew’s Abbey for three days of listening. You don’t need to have answers to come. You don’t need a clear call. You only need to be willing.
​
This retreat is not about figuring everything out. It is about falling in love with God’s will, and taking a leap of faith, even when you don’t know where you’ll land. Last year, 32 young men came carrying questions, restlessness, and doubt. What they found was not a program, but an encounter.
​
If you are reading this and wondering whether God might be calling you, maybe He already is. Perhaps this is the beginning.
Come & Follow
Come away to a quiet place and rest a while.
THE THREE DAYS
A rhythm of prayer & presence
