A retreat called “Contemplative Christianity: God’s Call to Holiness” will be held at Saint Meinrad Archabbey Guesthouse and Retreat Center, 200 Hill Dr., in St. Meinrad, on May 19-21.

All prayer has a contemplative dimension, the experience of God’s presence grounding and supporting our prayer.

Benedictine Father Adrian Burke will lead the retreat.

The cost is $300 for one person per room or $425 total for two persons attending the retreat and sharing a room.
