Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House

Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House Ignatius of Loyola. Why come to the Quiet? A silent retreat at Bellarmine is adapted from the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola.

Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House is committed to fostering the spiritual development of Catholics and other people of faith through a variety of contemporary programs and retreats following the Spiritual Exercises of St. In brief, the Spiritual Exercises are a "pathway to God;" a way to experience union with God through personal prayer and contemplation. During the retreat there are times for priva

te reflection and public worship. Each day, Mass is celebrated and optional devotions are offered for those wishing to participate. The Jesuits on staff are available throughout the weekend for counseling and confession. Don't let the structure get in the way! When you come to the quiet you are away from the struggles and despairs of daily life. Take time to sit, walk, think, meditate. Use the personal silence as a way to gain better perspective on the challenges in your life and to deeper your connection to our loving and faithful God.

Most days at Bellarmine are marked by quiet.

When Kairos is in the house, the halls are filled with the energy, laughter, and faith of young people encountering God.

"I stepped outside to read and found a prayer from a past meeting at Bellarmine tucked inside the cover. A beautiful surprise."

Come away and rediscover wonder.

Inspired by Jesus' invitation to become like little children and St. Ignatius' call to find God in all things, this retreat offers prayerful reflection and contemplation in the beauty of creation. Open your heart to awe, gratitude, and God's presence as you encounter the beauty and mystery woven throughout everyday life.

You are warmly invited to step away for a day of reflection.

Through guided reflection and imaginative prayer, we will listen with the heart and encounter creation as a sacred expression of God’s presence. In the stillness, we allow our eyes to be refreshed, our spirits softened, and our lives opened again to awe.

Come, rest in this space.
Come, rediscover humility and wonder.
Come, glimpse the world as God sees it—alive with beauty and quiet surprise.
