Discover the Art of Prayer: A Spiritual Pilgrimage

Inspired by the mission of our founder, Venerable Patrick Peyton, we invite your students, faculty, staff, and parishioners to "journey" with us. Following Father Peyton’s lifelong devotion to the Rosary, this retreat series is designed to deepen your understanding of prayer and foster a transformative encounter with Jesus Christ.

The Art of Prayer aims to strengthen, empower, and equip you for a lifelong conversation with God through four distinct stages of the journey.

Your Roadmap for the Journey

  • Mapping the Journey View prayer through a new lens—not as a chore, but as a sacred pilgrimage and a purposeful path to encountering Christ.
  • Packing for the Journey You don’t have to travel alone. Learn to lean on the wisdom of the Saints and embrace the Gifts of the Holy Spirit as your constant companions.
  • Food for the Journey Just as the body requires food, the soul requires grace. Discover how prayer serves as the essential nourishment your spiritual life needs to thrive.
  • Setting the Course Practicality meets spirituality. We will help you navigate your unique circumstances to create a personalized prayer plan that fits seamlessly into your daily life.

"The family that prays together stays together." — Venerable Patrick Peyton, C.S.C.
