Dominican House of Studies | Washington, D.C.
This retreat is being offered for current university students.
Step away from end-of-semester busy-ness to pray and contemplate the Scriptures and Aquinas' theology on mankind's fallen condition going back to creation and the wonderful assurance of redemption and grace with the coming of Christ. The retreat will have seminars and discussions framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).
Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, meals and housing will be provided free for accepted applicants. Travel scholarships are available. Please contact Klarissa (kblank@dhs.edu) or Fr. John Mark (jmsolitario@dhs.edu) to inquire.
