Charis Retreats
The premier Ignatian resource for retreat ministry to those in their 20s and 30s, now has retreat manuals published and available for purchase. These retreat manuals detail best practices for retreat success. They contain tools, templates and training for every aspect of retreat planning and implementation. If you are leading retreats for men and women in their 20s and 30s, these materials are for you.
Just as Charis Ministries knows retreats, men and women in their 20s and 30s know Charis. You could say that we wrote the book together. Guided by the spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola, Charis designs and hosts spirituality programs for young adults.
Since 2000 retreat models have been documented by Charis in collaboration with Loyola Press. In time, resources will be made available for additional retreat models. Each Charis retreat model features a distinct theme, and each is designed to lead and invite men and women into a fuller spirituality and deeper relationship with God.
