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.
