New Year's Silent Prayer Retreat

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12.

This silent prayer retreat provides an alternative and uplifting New Year’s celebration. The contemplative prayer retreat is at the heart of the training on offer at Cloud-Bearing Mountain Christian Retreat Center. Participants enter into a deep and regenerative silence punctuated by the chanting of the psalms at morning, noon, and evening prayer services. A daily period of work helps us to carry our prayerfulness into everyday activities. All participants have an opportunity to receive individual spiritual direction during the program. Arrive on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. This silent retreat culminates in the New Year’s Program, including the New Year's Eve Midnight Mass for Peace and New Year's brunch.
