Come and See

“She is led to the king with her maiden companions. They are escorted amid gladness and joy.”

Psalm 45:14-15

Come and See

A Come and See retreat is designed to give women an experience of our life from the inside. In addition to entering into our rhythm of prayer and the joys of community life, retreatants receive conferences on religious life and guidance in their discernment. Above all, it is a time to be with Jesus as He reveals His love and the desires of His Heart. 

Good candidates for a Come and See retreat are single Catholic women, ages 20-30, who are in good health and have been living a life faithful to prayer and the sacraments for at least one year.

Discernment Guide

A time of discernment can often feel confusing and overwhelming. Yet peace and freedom can be found when discernment is no longer approached as a riddle to be solved but rather as an opportunity to grow in trust and intimacy with the Lord. This intimacy is fostered by creating intentional space to be with the Lord; to be vulnerable with Him about your fears and desires so that He can meet you in these places and show you His love.

“Find your delight in the Lord who will give you your heart’s desires. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will act.”

Psalm 37:4-5
