Individual Private Ignatian Retreat
You can make a reservation for a private, individual directed, silent retreat with Dir. Kathy Kemler or possibly Fr. Bob Dufford, SJ. You are welcome to pose your own dates and we would check with their schedules in advance of confirming the reservation.
A few more details that may be helpful to know; guests on private retreats stay in efficiency apartments and prepare their own meals. The apartment has a combined living/dining area, bedroom area and private bathroom. The kitchenette includes a refrigerator with freezer, microwave, drip coffee maker (& filters), toaster, electric skillet, hot plate and sink. There are miscellaneous glasses/cups, dishes/bowls & silverware; however, no food, so plan for simple meals including the salt/pepper. Dish soap/dish towels, bedding & bath towels are provided too. It is a private unit that is just steps away from the woods where the deer and wild turkey roam.
Suggested stipend is $50-$75/session and the room rate is $55/per night per person.

Silent Ignatian Retreat Weekend
March 13-16, 2025
Silent Ignatian Retreat with Fr. Larry Gillick, S.J.
LENTEN PRAYER, not for SELF-IMPROVEMENT but for SELF-DEEPENING
This retreat invites you into a deepening of relationship with God as you enter the Lenten journey. These three days of prayer and reflection will center on God’s meeting Abram and three of His Apostles as they are. We'll journey with them as they are invited to a deepening of their relationship with God. No pointing of Divine Fingers but more the invitations to experience God’s fidelity to our human fears and questions. Time will be spent in being who we are in God’s loving gaze rather than preparing to do what we should or change our behavior.
This invitation is available to all and will include opportunities to celebrate the Eucharist, meet with a spiritual director and participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Meals as well as the rest of the day will be in prayerful silence.
Fr. Larry Gillick, S.J. has been the director of the Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Creighton University since 1991 and worked with the Mission and Ministry Department of the University for over 40 years.
The retreat cost is based on single occupancy and includes meals - $425
Check-in Thursday between 4:00-5:00 p.m.
The retreat concludes Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
A non-refundable deposit of $75 is requested at registration, and later applied toward the final invoice. Register by selecting the registration tab.
