I found Fr. Manahan’s letter in the newsletter inspiring. I loved it.
My wife and l will be in Hales Corners area for First Holy Communion of our great nephew Charlie Paul over May 4th weekend.
Would like to visit the retreat house at if possible while we are in the area.
Would this be feasible? Sounds like it is a beautiful place.
Thank you. Larry and Mary Galligan Chelsea Michigan
Larry … thank you for your response. Regarding your request to visit over the May 4th weekend, unfortunately we offer silent weekend preached retreats every weekend from Thursday night thru Sunday after lunch. That weekend we will have nearly 60 men here on retreat. The best days for visits and/or tours of our sacred grounds are normally, Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesday. Perhaps another time … peace and Easter blessings.
