    When I go to this retreat house it is like I am coming home. I return year
    after year to deepen my relationship with God. I feel so at home here that
    I have donated my parent’s furniture. Silence is key for me so that I can
    lessen for God message.

    I did my first retreat at Loyola just a few weeks ago and had a great
    experience! Loyola offers a much needed pause from the fast paced lives
    that we lead today. The silence of the retreat is a wonderful opportunity
    to allow God to speak to our hearts – rather than us always trying to lead
    the conversation 🙂 +AMDG+

  3. As one of the retreatants states in this video, I am also still amazed at
    how God touched me on my first retreat at Loyola 6 years ago. He had a
    special message for me about how he wants me to live my life that
    fundamentally changed me. I’m not sure I would have heard the message had I
    not gone on the retreat, as my life like most people’s is full of noise and
    distraction.

  4. This video and the people who speak do so far more eloquently than I ever
    could…Loyola is a place of peace and deep spiritual reflection for me and
    every year, I look forward to making the journey…it has become a part of
    the fabric of my life and being a promoter is a great way for me to feel
    like I am giving something back to a place and to people who give so much
    to me and my fellow retreatants,,,Make the trip, do a retreat and you too
    will see the magic of Loyola. Peace.

  5. My retreat weekend is in January. I can’t think of a better way to start a
    year. I once asked a first-timer what he thought of the weekend and he
    responded ” the Jesuits get it right.” I couldn’t agree more! I have now
    gone 12 straight years and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.

  6. When I close the large doors behind me upon entering this retreat house I
    am closing the door on anything that prevents me from being still with the
    Lord. As Max Ehrmann so eloquently states in his “Desiderata,” I seek to
    “remember what peace there may be in silence.” This is truly a peaceful
    place where I can just be still – opening myself to hear the Lord speak to
    me however He sees fit. At the end of the retreat I am thankful that I can
    “go placidly amid the noise and haste…”
