Triduum Retreat
Holy Thursday, April 2 to Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026
Come, enter the silence, and experience the rich liturgies of this Triduum Retreat with the monastic community at Sacred Heart Monastery in Yankton, South Dakota. These sacred three days are the holiest days of the Church year when we celebrate the events embracing the central mystery of the Incarnation. The Benedictine Sisters invite you to join them in this extended time of quiet, prayerful silence, and the rich liturgical celebration of the PASSION, DEATH, and RESURRECTION of CHRIST. This Holy Week retreat begins at 4:00 p.m. on April 2, Holy Thursday, and ends with a festive noon dinner on Easter Sunday.
The Benedictine Peace Center staff will welcome you to this time of silence.
Personal silent retreats may be arranged at another time that better fits your schedule.
To make reservations, contact us at benedictinepeacectr@yanktonbenedictines.org, or call (605) 668-6292. Space is limited.

Advent Retreat
Joseph’s Fiat: Making a Home for Jesus
Saturday, December 6, 2025, 9:30 – 11:00 am
This 90-minute online retreat will focus on Joseph. Despite the dearth of information provided by Scripture or other sources about this man who played such a key role in the Incarnation story, Joseph’s choices and actions reveal a great deal about his character and his spirituality.
Members of the Peace Center staff will provide short conferences leading to reflective group dialogue.
Conferences will focus on–
- Historical-cultural conditions of the time,
- What we know from Holy Scripture,
- the interior disposition of heart reflected in Joseph’s choices, and
- Joseph as foster father, provider, and guide for the young Jesus.
We invite you to a prayerful time of listening, pondering, and sharing.
Cost: $30 | Registration deadline: December 3, 2025
