"In the silence God speaks."

Into the Silence is a semi-silent retreat for high school students entering grades 9–12. In a world filled with constant noise, distractions, and notifications, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to step away and make space to hear God's voice.

Throughout the weekend, retreatants will participate in periods of silence, Eucharistic Adoration, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Morning and Evening Prayer, spiritual conferences, and opportunities for one-on-one spiritual guidance. While silence will be observed during much of the retreat, students will also enjoy designated times in the evenings for fellowship, friendship-building, games, and community with other Catholic teens.

All lodging and meals are included for retreat participants. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the registration fee has been kept at just $40. Registration costs primarily help cover the cost of food for each retreatant throughout the weekend.

To help create an environment of prayer and reflection, this is a technology-free retreat. Students are expected either to leave their phones at home or keep them powered off and stored in their bags for the duration of the retreat.

Whether you are looking to deepen your relationship with Christ, discern His voice more clearly, or simply find rest from the noise of everyday life, we invite you to join us for a weekend of prayer, silence, friendship, and encounter with God.
