We invite you to join us for a Sabbath Time Retreat.

These retreats, held regularly for pastoral leaders, offer an opportunity to enter into an environment of rest, prayer, worship, spiritual companionship and support for engaging in the excellent practice of ministry.

The plan for a sabbath time retreat

Sabbath Time Retreats welcome Christian pastoral ministers, lay and ordained of all denominations (or non-affiliated) to gather as colleagues, finding common ground in the call to Christian ministry and its challenges.

Each Sabbath time retreat runs for two overnights.  The first evening begins at 7 pm, and includes an orientation and optional evening prayer.  On the next day, you will have 3 meals, the option to attend morning and evening prayer, as well as a collegial sharing session.  The final morning concludes with a gathering time and blessing after breakfast.

During leisure time, you may wish to avail yourself of the beautiful grounds and quiet nooks throughout the Retreat Center.

Current dates may be found by calling St. Francis Retreat Center toll-free at 866 669-8321.
