Frequently Asked Questions

When does the retreat start and finish?

As soon as you register, you will receive a welcome email with access to the Getting Started module to prepare you for the retreat. The retreat officially starts on Sunday, October 5, and ends on Saturday, November 15. Each week's material will be available the Saturday before each new week. Please note that the content will be released according to Universal Time (UTC) rather than your personal time zone.

How does the retreat work?

This new online retreat offers daily scripture and guided prayer, incorporating contemplative prayer methods. Each week, will begin with a video welcome message. You will receive a guide for prayer, naming the graces to receive and offering suggested scriptures and meditations for each day, along with guided audios. You will notice there is repetition, as we intentionally invite you to pray with the same scripture passage or mediation more than once. We will end each week with a weekly Review of Prayer.

As always, this prayer time can happen according to your schedule. There is also an opportunity for sharing on the Community Wall.

What is the expected time commitment for this retreat?

Plan to set aside 15-20 minutes for daily prayer and reflection. Though the retreat runs from October 5 through November 15, you will have access to the content through December 1.

What supplies will I need for this retreat?

Supplies suggested for the retreat: a computer, tablet or smartphone to access the daily scripture and guided reflections, a prayer place, Bible, journal, the weekly prayer guides (will be provided), a binder/folder to keep your weekly prayer guides if you prefer to print them vs. read online.
