It’s that time of year to extend an invitation to all the men of our parish in making a weekend retreat at White House Retreat. This year the Jesuit retreat begins at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 21 through Sunday, September 24, ending at 1:00 p.m. All men of the parish are invited. Don’t miss out in the spiritual and physical renewal that benefits every man who makes a retreat. A retreat once a year is a vital necessity these days. White House is located in South County on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River and is situated on 80 acres of beautiful landscaped property where silence for the weekend provides the opportunity for a man to meditate and listen to God. Due to the recent Covid situation, the meals served will be plated and the wearing of masks are optional, not mandatory. For help, assistance or questions, please contact Tom Jones, 314-578-4511 or by email at goldeneagle1946@yahoo.com or Ron Huelsmann, 314-607-2739.
The White House Retreat is located in South County, high above the beautiful bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. The White House Retreat has been giving retreats since 1922 and are celebrating their 95 year. They have recently made many upgrades, improvements and additions. The Jesuit retreat masters are exceptional and insightful, the food is great and the camaraderie among the retreatants is remarkable. For the fitness buffs they have added a physical exercise room with two treadmills and an upright stationary bike. It’s a great opportunity to experience some alone time with yourself and the Lord. Information booklets are available in the narthex and by the side exit doors.
