Into the Desert: A Chaldean Spirituality Retreat

Into the Desert: A Chaldean Spirituality Retreat

For Adult Men Only

Into the Desert is an invitation for men to step away from the noise of daily life and enter the silence where God speaks to the heart.

Rooted in the spiritual and liturgical tradition of the Chaldean Catholic Church of the East, this retreat draws deeply from the mystical theology and worship in the Church of the East, where the mystery of God’s love is not merely explained, but encountered. In the sacred prayers of the Holy Mass, in silence, in fraternity, and in honest self-examination, participants will be led into a deeper communion with the living God who desires to dwell within us.

This men’s retreat is for those who are ready to enter the desert: to confront distractions, to rediscover their identity as sons, and to open themselves to the transforming love revealed in the Church’s liturgy.

Come away. Be still. Enter the mystery.
