A Catholic Retreat Experience in Assisi
A retreat is a time to slow down and go inward.
It offers silence, space, and a gentle rhythm rooted in prayer, reflection, and rest. The focus is on deepening your interior life and listening to God in stillness.
Called to Be a Saint is a self-guided spiritual journey through the sacred town of Assisi, shaped by the lives and witness of St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Carlo Acutis. Though they lived in different centuries, their lives point to one shared truth: holiness is possible right now, in your life, just as you are.
You will receive the personal touch with daily spiritual check-ins, transfers to and from the train station, and orientation and much more.
Whether you come alone, with a small group, Called to Be a Saint is an invitation to encounter God through the spirit of Assisi and to respond to the universal call to holiness in your own life.
How is God Calling You Now?
This retreat prepared by Gwen offers a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with God through the quiet beauty of Assisi and the spiritual wisdom of these saints. With a focus on daily Mass, prayer, and guided reflection, you’ll be invited not only to walk where the saints walked, but to consider how God may be calling you to walk forward in faith today.
