The goal of this project is to gain a greater understanding of the needs and challenges that our veterans experience when they return home from war.

     Mayslake Ministries is committed to working with the academic community of Triton College to provide faith based programs and retreats for our military men and women.  

Triton College president, Dr. Patricia Granados said, “ it is important to help veterans return to their families and communities with the support they need to transition back to civilian life.” 

Retreats for Medical Professionals

For about 70 years, Mayslake Ministries has been offering a religious, spiritual retreat in the Chicago area for physicians and members of the medical profession. This is not a seminar or workshop on the latest developments in medicine, but a chance for men and women of faith to gather as professional colleagues for the renewal of their spiritual life. The retreat will consist of presentations by the retreat directors, Fr. Jonathan Foster, OFM and Christine Grano, prayer services, Mass, opportunities for spiritual direction and confession, sharing sessions and lots of "white space" to pursue personal agendas.

Come for a relaxing yet challenging experience of spiritual growth.

Monday, March 5 to Wednesday, March 7, 2012
