Lay Community | Retreats

The Community of Jesus Crucified conducts retreats at the Community's retreat facility, Our Lady of Sorrows, in St. Martinville, Louisiana. Some of the retreat offerings include retreats for      married couples, guided and directed retreats, group preached retreats, and silent retreats for men and for women on various aspects of the spiritual life.

The retreats are silent and will include meditations.  Retreatants are asked to bring their own towels, toiletries, paper and pen/pencil, and Bible.  Dress is casual, but no shorts.  There is no cost for retreats, but register early as space is limited.

Striving to meet the unmet needs of the unserved in our society • Disseminating knowledge of the spiritual life to the laity • Adoring the real presence • redemptive suffering • striving for contemplative union
