Advent, Lent and Summer Retreats

 

Retreats at Seventh Avenue provide opportunities-in-communities where we can stop — and rest into God’s gentle presence — for either a day or weekend exploring our lives in communion with God.

We have All-Day Advent retreats at Mercy Center in Burlingame to ’ready’ ourselves for the Incarnation. In Lent, we have a Day of Recollection that takes place here at Seventh Avenue as we plumb the depths of God’s love for us.

In the Summer, we have a 3-Day retreat either in Los Gatos,  San Rafael or in Santa Rosa.  This retreat allows us to delve deeper into the Mystery we call God as we open ourselves to be loved … all the way down to our toes.
