Weekend Retreats for Women

Lindell offers a variety of retreat options for women. A retreat provides a deeper opportunity
to reflect on your everyday life and to deepen your personal relationship with God.  
An annual retreat provides the personal opportunity to reflect on one's everyday occupations,
​family life and relationships with others, in the light of the basic truths of the Catholic faith.
The silent retreat includes times for personal recollection, guided meditations, Holy Mass and confession to offer the quiet we all need to rejuvenate.
Retreats organized by Lindell Study Center are currently held at
Cedar Creek Conference Center, 1401 Olive Rd New Haven, MO 63068.  

The Retreat Dates are November 3-5, 2017; January 26-28, 2018; and March 23-25, 2018.
