Take time for yourself, be renewed and draw closer to God; come to a retreat at Montserrat Jesuit Retreat House
A retreat is a time of quiet when you can get away from the ordinary demands of life.
A retreat provides both time and space to gain a better perspective on the deeper meaning of your life.
A retreat offers more of what you yearn for, that is a place and a way to come to know God better in intimate and personal relationship.
A retreat is a time of reconciliation and peace.
A retreat is a gift you give yourself and allow the Lord to bless the gift. It is a time for you to be good to yourself.
Discovering or deepening your own way of praying is an important outcome of the Montserrat retreat. A Montserrat retreat will ask you to look at your relationships: with God, with your spouses and families, with friends, with the Church, with your own world — and with you own self. And you will hear Jesus Christ saying to you “Do not be afraid.”
Fr. Joseph Allen Tetlow, SJ, has previously served for eight years in Rome as head of the Secretariat for Ignatian Spirituality, guiding the efforts of 250 Jesuit retreat houses and editing the Review of Ignatian Spirituality.
Born in New Orleans in 1930, Tetlow began seminary training just after World War II, completing licentiates in both Philosophy and Theology from Pontifical Faculties. His doctoral work in American social and intellectual history at Brown University focused on the development of American Catholic spirituality.
Tetlow has been a professor of theology at St. Louis University and associate editor of the Catholic weekly America. He was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola in New Orleans, founding executive secretary of the U.S. Jesuit Conference in Washington, D.C., and President of the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. As Director of Tertianship (the final period of Jesuit formation) he also acted as spiritual director to the clergy of the Austin Diocese.
He has written numerous articles, including a commentary in America on the full cycle of Sunday readings, and has lectured around the world. Tetlow’s books include Ignatius Loyola: Spiritual Exercises and Making Choices in Christ, a compendium of the foundational theology of Christian decision-making. His guide for making St. Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises, Choosing Christ in the World, has been translated into a number of languages.
