Weekly Retreats
Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. (Mt: 11:28)
The weekly retreats are a guide to deepen your faith as you immerse yourself in God’s word. These retreats help to renew our spirit through worship, meditations, insightful teachings and reflections on the Word of God. Come join us every Friday for this very uplifting and completely transformative experience.
Time: 9 AM to 4 PM
Residential Retreats
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Mt 6:43)
Our residential retreats at Pilar provide an opportunity to learn more about God’s love. The breaking of the Word of God, and the spiritual guidance by our priests will ease your burden in finding your path to righteousness. Renew your lives and free yourselves from bondage through confessions, prayer and worship. We offer a variety of retreats tailored to different themes and seasons of the liturgical calendar. Inner Healing and Deliverance Retreats, Lenten Retreats, Marian Retreats and Advent Retreats.
Marian Retreats
And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God.” (Luke 1:30)
We welcome you to join us for the Marian retreats which will deepen your connection to the Blessed Virgin Mary. These retreats focus on the life and humility of Mother Mary and help participants to draw strength through rosary meditations, liturgical celebrations, and spiritual talks. These retreats are a reminder that we are not alone and with the guidance and intercession of our Blessed Mother in Heaven, we can overcome all hurdles.
Inner Healing & Deliverance Retreats
Are you struggling with past traumas, unhealed wounds, or emotional burdens? Do you find yourself in an endless spiral of adversity?
The Lord is greater than whatever is ahead of you and will always guide you through. (1 John 4:4)
Our inner healing and deliverance retreats address past wounds, traumas, and inner struggles that hinder personal growth and freedom. Through a conscientious confession, confront and release emotional burdens. Engage support from our trained counsellors and priests and deliver yourself from oppressive spiritual influences through the process of forgiveness. These retreats promote newfound peace, restoration and a deeper connection with the Holy Trinity.
Growth Retreats
And yet, O Lord, you are our Father.
We are the clay, and you are the potter.
We all are formed by your hand. (Isaiah 64:8)
Growth retreats are designed to facilitate personal and spiritual development. Participants engage in introspective sessions, receive practical guidance, and connect with like-minded individuals on the journey of personal and spiritual growth.
Lenten & Advent Retreats
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. (1 Corinthians chapter 16 verse 13)
Lenten and Advent retreats offer a time of preparation and reflection during these liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. Immerse yourself in God’s love as these retreats provide a tranquil space for silent contemplation of your lives. Receive God’s grace through true contrition, penance and prayer as you prepare for Easter or Christmas. Lenten retreats focus on self-denial, conversion, and spiritual renewal, while Advent retreats centre around hope, expectation and readiness for Christ’s coming.
