From a reader…
QUAERITUR:
Do you know where we might find a good women’s retreat in a TLM environment?
I’ll open this up to the readership.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

If you’re in England, the SSPX is holding a women’s Ignatian retreat in Bristol on 3 – 8 July and again on 11 – 16 September.
The SSPX offers retreat centers.

The traditional Benedictine monks of Tasmania come to the USA each year to offer TLM-only retreats, one for men and one for women:

I believe the Benedictine sister at Still River, Massachusetts run a women’s retreat. Not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure I heard someone mention it when I attended the men’s retreat the brothers run.
Fr Ripperger is doing a Mother-Daughter one in Wyoming this summer: https://montechristo.net/retreats/
I would contact Father Shannon Collins, Superior of the Missionaries of St. John the Baptist. They will send a Priest to your parish and do a mission/retreat. Perhaps you and some women could arrange it! He’s an excellent Priest and was trained at the Toronto Oratory. Worth a shot. Good luck.
I received this:
yes, there is a men’s silent traditional ignatian retreat April 27-30, 2023 at the Edelweiss House in Greensburg Indiana and a women’s silent traditional ignatian retreat May 18-21, 2023 at the same Edelweiss House in Greensburg Indiana. those who are interested can email Tim Catalano at timc@edelweisshouse.org
thank you, Fr Jambon
While this is coming from a man I helped for a few years with the yearly Come and See weekend in my diocese. Our young adult group back then was invited to assist with greeting and carrying luggage on arrival and then we would stay for Mass and dinner.
That said, I was always impressed with the Nashville Dominicans and the Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist (the latter began teaching in a nearby diocese and like the Nashville Dominicans, has several sisters under 40 years of age. ) These orders may or may not have a priest to do the TLM but both religious communities are solid orders (I think most of the readership here will agree. )
Both orders may do women only retreats that are for lay people. I don’t know but it wouldn’t hurt to look them up.
