Annual Retreat

Our community is taking our annual “vacation” with the Lord as we’ll spend more time in solitude and prayer for 8 days. All requests for spiritual bouquets and online orders will be processed after our retreat. Be assured of our prayers for you during this time of grace for us. And please pray for our community and for our retreat master, Father Luke Buckles, O.P. of the Western Dominican Province.

Father Luke was ordained a priest of Jesus Christ in 1978. He taught at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology upon graduation with a doctorate in Theology. Father had been teaching at the University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome (the Angelicum) for 17 years and recently returned to the Western Province where he resumed his teaching at the DSPT.

Deo Gratias!

Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while. -Jesus
