ABOUT THE RETREATS | ||
|
| ||
| Retreats at Featherock provide the necessary opportunity to reflect on one's everyday occupations, family life and relationships with others in light of the basic truths of the Catholic faith. | 
| |
| An atmosphere of personal prayer and recollection is maintained during the retreat. | |
| The spiritual activities of Featherock Conference Center are entrusted to Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Catholic Church. | 
| |
| Featherock retreats share with other activities of Opus Dei the overall purposes of the organization as described by the founder, Saint Josemaria Escriva: | ||
| ||
|
To foster the search for holiness and the carrying out of the apostolate by Christians who live in the world, whatever their state in life or position in society. The Work of God was born to help those Christians... to understand that their life, just as it is, can be an opportunity for meeting Christ: that it is a way of holiness and apostolate. Christ is present in any honest human activity. The life of an ordinary Christian, which to some people may seem banal and petty, can and should be a holy and sanctifying life. (Conversations with Msgr. Josemaria Escriva, p.70) | ||
| Besides scheduled retreats for various groups, Featherock's yearly schedule includes professional conferences, seminars, summer camps, study weekends and other programs for either men or women. | |
