Avoiding Acedia | An Intellectual Retreat


Dominican House of Studies | Washington, DC

This retreat is being offered for students of Providence College.

Step away from the daily rush of life to pray and study the riches of the Church’s intellectual tradition with the Thomistic Institute. Throughout this retreat we will study acedia, as described by St. Thomas Aquinas, with the aim of assessing and improving the state of our intellectual and spiritual lives.

The retreat will have seminars and discussions framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).

Schedule:

  • Begins with check-in at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 2nd

  • Concludes with check-out at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 4th

Speakers:

  • Prof. Thomas Hibbs (Baylor University)

  • Prof. R.J. Snell (Witherspoon Institute)


Applications to this retreat are due by Friday, November 11th.
