Discern & Decide
Navigating Life's Choices - A Virtual Retreat

Greetings from Heart to Heart!

Join Fr. Michael as he leads a virtual retreat based on our new video series Discern & Decide starting Tuesday, January 6 and running for 6 weeks. This virtual retreat is in collaboration with Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House, Heart to Heart's home base for ministry.

What is Discern & Decide?

Discern & Decide is a 12-part video series on spiritual discernment, rooted in the Ignatian tradition. Each short episode invites reflection on how God is present and active in our daily choices. Fr. Michael is joined by Fr. Radmar Jao, SJ, ValLimar Jansen, and Betsey Beckman who bring the teachings and lessons of St. Ignatius to life.

Who is it for?

This series is designed for all ages and stages of life. From the senior in high school deciding about college to the seasoned worker pondering retirement, and everyone in between. Not just for life's major choices, Discern & Decide can help guide us in making any meaningful decision with God as our partner.

Testimonial

“I wish this program were available 40 years ago!” ~Jerry White, Financial Services Managing Director

Schedule

The virtual retreat begins Tuesday, January 6 and runs for 6 consecutive Tuesdays, ending on February 10th. Choose from the morning session time (7 am to 8:30 am) or the evening session time (7 pm to 8:30 pm).

Each session features two videos (about 20 minutes each) and time for small group discussion; if you miss a session you can view the videos on Bellarmine's virtual retreat platform where discussion with your small group can also take place.

You may also choose to get the Companion Study Guide at the time of registration, a 232 page book recapping each video episode and expanding the material further with additional examples and practices to enhance your learning.

Trailers

We have created two short videos to help you learn more about the series before joining, a trailer and a personal introduction from Fr. Michael. View both at the link below.
