Matt Talbot Retreats

Matt Talbot Retreats

Retreats are generally time away from our regular lives spent in a setting that allows for spiritual thought, expression, and introspection.

Read about the history of the Matt Talbot Retreat Movement.

Deacon Giblin has been an approved Retreat Master for Matt Talbot retreats since 2013,  and an active member of the Matt Talbot Retreat movement since 1986. His first retreat was at Group #9 at Graymoor, home of the Friars of the Atonement.
