The UIC Chaplaincy organises spiritual retreats for PhD students, professors, and administrative and services personnel.
For centuries, spiritual retreats -in all their manifestations- have constituted a way for Christians to improve their spiritual lives. The idea is to spend some time in a tranquil setting, pray with greater harmony, reflect with greater concentration and thereby become closer to God.
These days, spiritual retreats are more important than ever as we find ourselves immersed in a society characterised by self-sufficiency and distance from God.
The retreats organised by the Chaplaincy last two and a half days; participants set off on Thursday evening and return by midday on Sunday. The exact dates will be announced at the beginning of the academic year.
