We all need to take time out, to be quiet and to think about our life and our relationship with Good. Retreats are not a luxury to be savored by a pious few; they are a necessity for the soul of all of us.

Magnalia Foundation Retreats at Carmel Retreat Center are traditional, silent retreats, conducted by priests of the Prelature of Opus Dei for men. The Carmel Retreat Center is located 45 miles northeast of Atlanta off Interstate 85. It is nestled in a beautiful secluded area of north Georgia and is ideal for prayer, reflection and relaxation. The Center includes a large chapel, dining room, living rooms, conference room, private reconciliation room, and 26 bedrooms.

Each day of the retreat includes Holy Mass, four or five preached meditations on living one’s faith in daily life given by the priest, Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, recitation of the Rosary and the Way of the Cross. The priest conducting the retreat is available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There is also the opportunity for personal consultation with a priest or lay person on the staff.
