My classmate from the seminary, Fr. Vincent Rogers, is a Trappist Monk. I remember asking him one time about their silent reading time at the monastery. He told me about the ancient form of prayer called Lectio Divina or Sacred Reading and what it involved. This way of praying with scriptures has been practiced in the monastery for more than 1,000 years, so it is a tried a true method.
You’ve heard it said that there is no sincerer love than the love of food (George Bernard Shaw) and that is truer than ever for retreat guests. Something about a filling, delicious meal brings comfort and relaxation to a retreat experience. We’re so pleased at the St. Joseph Retreat & Conference Center to welcome Keltie and Joe Domina with Keltie & Co. Catering as the exclusive caterer for our facility.
