We have one solid comfort amidst this little tripping about, our hearts can always be in the same place, centered in God, for whom alone we go forward or stay back.
Spirituality & Prayer Retreats
Prayer and spiritual development are an important part of Mercy life. The West Midwest sponsors three retreat centers which offer a wide variety of retreats including The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Centering Prayer and weekends for shelter residents. The centers strive to meet the spiritual needs of our times.
