Orthodox Catholic Retreats and Missions: Fathers of Mercy
A frequent item in the search queue is "Retreats for men or women." Clearly, some of these are for the discernment of vocations. For others, it is simply the desire to get away and to become once more filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit. There are many good retreats that seem to make the rounds by "word of mouth." I once asked a friend for advice on a religious Order that gave excellent retreats, and his answer was, " The Fathers of Mercy ." As he said then, "they really 'bring it'." By that, I understood him to mean that they had the gift of those Orders that had a special charism for preaching the good news--the Gospel. The Fathers of Mercy is an Order located in Kentucky that preaches Parish Missions and that gives Retreats. If you have watched EWTN at all, you are familiar with this Order. Their Charism is described here , and their Apostolate here . This lists the Parish Missions scheduled in Kentucky (the Generalate)
