Fatima Retreat House to offer multiple-day silent directed retreats on July 13-20

Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House, 5353 E. 56th St., in Indianapolis, is offering three- to eight-day silent, directed retreats on July 13-20.

The primary purpose of a silent, directed retreat is to foster an atmosphere in which retreatants may be led to a personal encounter with God.

In meeting with a spiritual director once a day, and through the use of Scripture and the peaceful retreat house grounds, retreatants are offered the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and grow in an awareness of the Holy Spirit working in their life.

The entire retreat house is kept as quiet as possible in order to support prayer and a growing awareness of God.

Registration varies from $215-$545 depending on number of retreat days. The cost includes accommodations, all meals, snacks, beverages, use of all common areas of the house, celebration of Mass each day, and a daily meeting with a spiritual director.

To register, go to bit.ly/2sU1Wj5 (case sensitive) or call Dustin Nelson at 317-545-7681.

For more information on this retreat and future opportunities, go to www.archindy.org/fatima.
