Retreats

I am available to lead retreats, parish missions and days of reflection for your Catholic parish or ministry group.

Potential topics include:

  • The Devout Life (Five talks based on St. Francis de Sale’s spiritual masterpiece)
  • Source & Summit (Five talks on the mystery of the Mass)
  • Devotion & Discipleship (One or two talks exploring the connection between external devotions and the interior life)

I am happy to work with you to develop talks for your group relating to prayer, spirituality, worship, the sacraments, and the Christian life.

Feedback from previous retreats…

This is the second retreat I’ve attend with Deacon Matt and it impresses me how he can make the topic so practical and current with daily life.

This is my first retreat and Deacon Matt has set the bar very high. His knowledge of scripture is impressive. His love for our Lord and the Eucharist is contagious. He is a down to earth easy to understand speaker. The Holy Spirit is definitely working through him.

Deacon Matt was excellent! We have been to many retreats, and he is one of the best Retreat Masters we have ever had.

A talk I gave in October of 2022 entitled “Beauty: The Language of the Soul,” at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Charlotte, NC.
