About this trip

Lent is a beautiful time to experience the graces of God. It is a chance to pause in the busyness of the world, to take a breath and reflect on the Living God of creation.


Are you looking to grow closer to God? To deepen your spiritual relationship with the Lord? If so, this Lenten retreat may be just what you’re looking for.


Join us on February 25th for a retreat on prayer and finding God in the silence, followed by Adoration and Benediction with Father Mark Mastrian. 


Dr. Jan Satterlee will present prayer as communication with God. She will provide examples of prayer and unpack the three expressions of prayer: vocal, meditative, and contemplative.

Additionally, Dr. Jan will explore The Lord’s Prayer, the beautiful prayer given to us by Jesus. Using the Catechism, Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments, Greek interpretations, and spiritual theology, Dr. Jan will unpack the seven petitions, what we are really asking for, why we pray them for everyone and not just for ourselves, and much more.


Finally, Dr. Jan will discuss roadblocks to prayer, such as distractions, wandering thoughts, expectations, dryness in prayer, and the darkness of prayer.


11:00am to 3:30pm

It is a place apart to rest, renew and be recreated for those seeking a deeper relationship with God.

I had a peaceful and relaxing time very welcoming. Accommodations were clean and nice the food was delicious. The presenter was friendly, understanding and knowledgeable. Various buildings, beautiful surroundings and plenty of activities. I will definitely be trying another retreat at this location.

Excellent program. Mary is a wonderful leader who creates a safe place to explore our inner worlds. Thank you. And Bethany is simply lovely, perfect setting for retreats. Highly recommend!

This retreat was conducted by Mary Dwyer an excellent teacher and founding member of the Contemplative Outreach. I have been to separate retreats and one other with Mary. Both with Mary are highly impactful to my practice. Mary's experience leading retreats evokes a palatable sense of the Silence, a holiness arose around all of us until we broke the Silent on the last day of the retreat. A retreat full of long time meditators creates an environment thick with the Silence I came to meditate within. A retreat at Bethany provides a beautiful atmosphere for Contemplatives. Dwyer's command of the meditative techniques delivered within a hermeutic teaching method plant deep seeds I can't wait to realize.
