  On occasion, each person needs time away from the busy and hectic pace of life, even if it is only for a day.  Jesus himself spent time in the desert in prayer with his Father.  A 1-Day (Desert Day) retreat is a quiet day of reflection for pilgrims looking to spend time with the Lord and reflect upon their life and their relationship with God.  These retreats include exploration of the matters of the heart, a meeting with a priest, and availability of Mass and Confession.
  
  There is the option to spend just the day at OLPH, meeting with your Spiritual Director once or to stay overnight, providing for two meetings with your Spiritual Director. All meals are included.
  
  Please note: It is also possible to make a private day of retreat without a Spiritual Director.
