Living the Word: A Retreat on the Bible

NOVEMBER 13–15, 2026

AUGUSTINE INSTITUTE | FLORISSANT, MO

β€œFor in the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them.”

-Dei Verbum, 21

 

Far from being simply a collection of texts, the Bible is the living Word of God, given to us in love. Join us this fall for a retreat on Sacred Scripture, where you will learn from expert scholars of our Graduate School of Theology and be renewed through a prayerful encounter with God who still speaks to you today.

Speakers

What to Expect

Your retreat includes talks, participation in the Mass, opportunities for Confession, and time for Eucharistic Adoration. We’ve worked to balance times of reflection with Mass, devotions, and personal prayer, allowing you to deepen your relationship with God at your own pace.
