Doorway to Discovery - Silent Retreat

Step away. Slow down. Listen for God’s voice.
Doorway to Discovery Retreats create space for you to deepen your relationship with God—away from distraction, noise, and hurry. In a guided rhythm of worship, teaching, prayer, and intentional silence, you’ll have time to rest, reflect, and be renewed in His presence.
Retreats take place each March and November at Saint Benedict’s Retreat Center, 1126 County Road I, Schuyler, NE 68661. Check below for upcoming dates.
