INTELLECTUAL RETREATS
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matt. 22:37)
We organize weekend-long intellectual retreats in Washington, D.C. and around the U.S. for university students. Retreatants attend lectures with top-notch theologians and scholars, pray the Liturgy of the Hours, attend Mass, spend time in personal prayer, and enjoy meals and times of fraternity with the Dominican friars, TI staff, and other students.
INTELLECTUAL RETREATS
Thomistic Institute campus chapters have the opportunity to collaborate with TI staff to organize retreats for their university community at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, these retreats are offered cost-free to students with the exception of travel (limited travel scholarships are available).
If you are interested in planning a retreat for your chapter, fill out our retreat request form.
