2026-2027 Retreat Season
Encountering God in the Parables – Retreats on the Parables
About
The theme of this year’s weekend retreats is “Encountering God in the Parables.” In a world filled with noise, uncertainty, and the demands of daily life, the parables of Jesus invite us to slow down, listen deeply, and discover the wisdom, mercy, and love of God. Through stories about seeds, shepherds, banquets, forgiveness, and compassion, Jesus reveals the heart of God and calls us into a deeper relationship with Him and with one another. While these familiar stories may seem simple at first, prayerful reflection on them opens new paths of understanding, healing, and hope.
During this year’s retreats, the five retreat talks will reflect on different types of parables found in the Gospels. Using the Lectio Divina prayer practice inspired by St. Clare of Assisi, retreatants will be invited to gaze upon the people and scenes within the parables, contemplate the words and actions of Christ, and imitate the love and mercy revealed through His teaching. Whatever season of life you may be experiencing right now, you will find peace on our holy grounds, closeness with God in prayer and the sacraments, renewal for your spirit in the retreat reflections, rest for your soul, and warm Capuchin hospitality throughout your stay.
Join us this year at the Capuchin Retreat Center as we prayerfully enter the parables of Jesus and encounter the living presence of God through His life-giving words. We look forward to welcoming you soon to the Capuchin Retreat Center. God bless you.
The suggested donation for a weekend retreat is $300.00
