The retreat is silent to help participants maintain their focus on God and listen to what he is saying.

Regnum Christi (Latin for “Kingdom of Christ”) is an approved group, or movement, within the Church that helps people to live their faith deeply and to get involved in works of service that assist people with the hope of bringing them closer to the Lord.

Registration is from 9-9:30 a.m. Mass is at 9:30 a.m., then the rest of the day will be spent in silence. The sacrament of reconciliation, Stations of the Cross, the rosary and individual spiritual guidance will be available.

The cost is $35, which includes a catered lunch and retreat materials. Registration and payment are due by April 2. Make checks payable to Summit Seekers, Inc., c/o Renáe Schoening, 1862 Windy Hill Lane, Indianapolis, IN, 46239.
