Dear Brother Friars,

Mark your calendars and prepare your hearts—we invite you to our June 2025 First Friday Friars Retreat as we join the Men on the Mountain retreat hosted by the Santiago Retreat Center.

​

This transformative 24-hour experience will take place at The Hermitage, high above Orange County in the Santa Ana Mountains. With a stunning backdrop of nature and sacred silence, we will focus on the theme:

“Life Is Worth Living – The Four Last Things”

​

Together, we’ll confront the ultimate realities: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell—truths that awaken the soul and realign our purpose as Catholic men.

​

Featured Speaker: Dr. Scott French
