Brief Description:

This is Marquette's own version of a Kairos Retreat or Search or TEC. Fundamental to this retreat is the peer reflection on the Ignatian charisms, which

has influenced Marquette University as a Jesuit Institution.

On this retreat, you will find yourself;

• listening to peer's witness to Jesuit Ideals,
• spending time reflecting on how these ideals are found within your life
• sharing insights in small groups
• praying both alone and as a faith community
• relaxing away from campus with nothing to focus on but yourself and your God
• having fun!

Retreat Location:

St. Vincent Palotti Retreat Center, Elkhorn, WI

A short 40 minute drive Southwest of Milwaukee in quiet, farm country.

The Retreat Center is on a small, wooded acreage with access to short walking paths. The Retreat Center itself is just like home. The main building is a refurbished home with many quaint bedrooms and corners to find for

quiet prayer. The Retreat Center addition includes a conference room with a fire place, dormitory sleeping for 30, and a chapel. The promise of home cooked meals by Lee and Carolyn have always been the draw for this retreat!

Retreat Cost:

$45 for all transportation, food and

lodging for the entire weekend.
