Graymoor Spiritual Life Center will be hosting a Christmas at Graymoor Retreat, Christmas Eve Mini-Retreat, as well as a New Year on the Mountain Retreat and a New Year's Eve Mini-Retreat.

This fall has been a time of celebration for the entire community of Friars as we witnessed the profession of vows and vow renewals of three men in formation. These milestones are an opportunity for the Friars to recommit to their own vows as well as extend their welcome to the newly professed.
