Restored is a weekend retreat offered by the Diocese of Duluth that takes place from a Friday through Sunday. In 2024, there will be two retreat weekends taking place: one in January and one in April, being held at two different beautiful northern Minnesota resorts found within the Diocese of Duluth. The weekend is a chance for adults to come together to be restored in both body and in soul. The weekend includes a variety of opportunities: prayer, reflection, fellowship, recreation, good food, engaging presentations, spiritual direction, Mass, Adoration, and more. This retreat is wonderful if you've never been to a retreat before and don't know what to expect, or whether you've been on several. 

There are many reasons people choose to attend Restored. Some are hurting and desire healing. Some are discouraged and seek encouragement and hope. Some are lonely and seek community. Some simply want to learn more about their faith. Some want to grow in their life of prayer. Some know that they are seeking something, but really don't know what it is. Some are looking for guidance. Some have questions. Some have never been to a retreat and want to try it, and some have been on retreats before and are ready for another one. All are welcome!

Whatever the reason someone comes to Restored, the Lord has something special and unique in store for each individual who participates. At previous retreats He has brought about healing to those who need it, clarity where there was confusion, deeper prayer lives, joy in community, beautiful friendships, encouragement for marriages and parenting, reconcilation, and So. Much. More.

Come see for yourself!
