Silent Retreats for Friends (8-day)

Friends and attenders who are drawn to the mystery we call God may find a retreat helpful. Retreats are again offered in 2012 at St. Raphaela Center in Haverford PA. The retreats are an eight-day, Tuesday, January 31--Wednesday, February 8; and a midweek retreat Wednesday, February 1--Friday, February 3.

The Center is a large house with pleasant walking outdoors. The Sisters are most welcoming. All retreatants have private rooms and the run of the house, chapel, and spacious grounds for a prayer--filled time away. Renee Crauder from State College  Meeting is the spiritual director for these retreats, which are co-sponsored by the Religious Education Concerns Group.

The cost for the eight-day retreat is $455; the midweek retreat is $180. These fees include room, board, the facilities of the Center, and Renee's availability. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is due at the time of registration. Each retreat is limited to five retreatants.
