Los Angeles Retreat Center Community

While our parish offers annual retreats for men and women, you may be looking for something at another time or a particular need. Take a look and see if there’s something for your spiritual enrichment at one of these five retreat centers by using the archdiocese’s new convenient and coordinated calendar.

Truth of the Cross

A retreat-like experience for adults to explore the liberating truths found in Jesus' death on the cross and His glorious resurrection from the dead. Come discover how the cross reveals that God is love!

Followed by four weeks of small-group virtual meetings with different options throughout the week. Small groups meet for 80 minutes each session.
 
Truths of the Cross (HEAR) is the first step in the path to missionary discipleship. Sponsored by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles ~ Office of New Evangelization and Parish Life.

Women’s Silent Retreat
Embracing God’s Gift of Hope
June 10 - 12, 2022

Mater Dolorosa’s annual retreat theme focuses on the gift of hope from God. It is a gift often misinterpreted and frequently confused with optimism in the secular world. Yet, it is so much more than this. This retreat will explore what hope means to us, covering a wide range of topics including scripture, tradition and the spiritual meaning of hope and its effects on our lives.

Married Couples Retreat
​TBD

The Catechism teaches that "Christ’s grace in the Sacrament of Marriage protects the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the generation and education of children. These purposes are protected and fostered by the permanence of the marriage bond and the mutual fidelity of spouses”  (United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, 283).

All couples are encouraged to participate in this opportunity to enrich and strengthen your marriage, sacrament and relationship with one another and God.
