Are you looking to grow closer to God in an intimate and life-transforming way, amidst the challenges and uncertainties of life?

Consider coming to this four-day Ignatian Guided Silent Retreat designed to help young adults (20+) personalize and deepen their relationship with God. Each day consists of two conferences, individual spiritual direction, daily Mass, and significant personal time for prayer and reflection. 

This retreat will uncover hidden gems of Pope Francis’s last Encyclical and Pope Leo’s first Apostolic Exhortation to help us grow in prayer, faith, and solidarity with others. Let yourself encounter God’s love and tenderness through the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the New Year.

The 38-acre Jesuit Retreat Center is a landscape of encounter — a chapel that invites stillness, wooded paths that open to breathtaking mountain vistas, rotundas that overlook the expansive Santa Clara Valley, and a nearby brook that cultivates silence.
