What is a retreat?
Matt Talbot retreats are an opportunity for recovering alcoholics and addicts to enhance their spirituality and sober way of life in a setting that promotes fellowship and sharing throughout the weekend. Retreats are based upon the spirituality of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the 12-step program.
Retreat Directors
Our Retreat Directors are usually both a recovering alcoholic and members of the clergy who bring valuable insights into the spiritual element of the disease of alcoholism.
Activities
A recovery retreat weekend includes: daily Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, conferences, discussion group break-out sessions and AA meetings. These retreats have proven extremely beneficial to the recovery and healing process as is shown by the frequent return of many. All faiths are welcome
Welcome to Matt Talbot Group 97.
We are a group off men in recovery that meet regularly for Winter and Summer weekend retreats at Loyola Jesuit House.
Matt Talbot retreats are a great opportunity for individuals in recovery to set time apart from the everyday stresses and distractions of life, so that they may reflect upon their recovery as well as consider their relationship with their Higher Power.
