As a priest, deacon, or seminarian, you have been called to heroically serve the Church. However, the demands of ministry on your time and attention can take you away from the source of your joy and strength – Jesus Christ. Too often this leads to exhaustion and burnout. At the Priests, Deacons, Seminarians Retreat, the One who called you to be His servant is waiting to renew your heart, soul, and ministry. Come reconnect with the Lord along with your fellow brothers and experience the renewal that your heart desires.

“A way to recharge and refocus…”

“A way to recharge and refocus. Returning to Franciscan University for the Priests, Deacons and Seminarians Retreat is an opportunity to get away from demands of life and a time to deepen your relationship with Christ and His Church”

-Priest, 2017 Retreat Participant

“I would recommend this conference to anyone…”

“As a first timer I did not know what to expect. What an amazing experience it was. I felt as if the presenters where speaking directly to me, naming problems and fears that I thought only I experienced. The worship was amazing, the masses so reverent, and the speakers were excellent. I would recommend this conference to anyone and everyone in priestly ministry or formation.”

-Seminarian, 2017 Retreat Participant

“I felt more alive…”

“I was feeling very tired, feeling down and frustrated, and even alone, but after each segment of the day’s schedule was finished, I felt more alive, stronger and filled with the Holy Spirit. I am a changed person!”

-Priest, 2017 Retreat Participant

“I only had to attend once and I’m committed now…”

“I have no doubt that folks have prayed and fasted for he success of the conference, and that can almost be felt upon arrival. I only had to attend once and I’m committed now, Lord willing, to attend each year.”

-Deacon, 2017 Retreat Participant
