August 4-6, 2026
Tuesday - Thursday
This retreat is a chance for men to learn more about the discernment process and meet men who are already in priestly formation, ask questions about the life and ministry of a priest, and provide an opportunity to experience the camaraderie of other discerners.
Fr. Mike Cassar, Director of Seminarians, and Fr. Ryan Riley, Pastor of St. Martha's in Okemos, will provide direction on the discernment process, give their reflections on the priesthood, and answer questions.
Small group discussions will be led by priests of the Diocese of Lansing. Daily Mass and the opportunity for Confession and Adoration will be offered.
Rooms are private with a shared bathroom. The weekend includes Tuesday dinner - Thursday breakfast.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE. If interested, please contact the Diocesan Vocation Office at 517-342-2507.
