Apart from the conferences and time for prayer, each day there will also be Holy Mass, Holy Rosary, and opportunity for confessions. The retreat will start on Friday at 4:00 pm and conclude on Sunday at 4:30 pm. As experience has shown throughout the centuries, the Spiritual Exercises have proven to be an excellent means of conversion and sanctification.
