Catholic Writers Retreats

Catholic Writers Guild

2025 Writers Retreats – Coming Soon

Do you need time away to finish or start a manuscript?

Work on that proposal?

Organize your writing project?

Finish work to meet your editor’s deadline?

Our retreats are popular because they ofer you abundant time to work and time to critique and brainstorm with other Catholic writers. Plus, there’s group prayer and Mass to make it a truly Catholic writing retreat.

Whether you are published or unpublished, write fiction or nonfiction, plan to work on poetry or a new novel, our retreats are for you!

Our Speaker

Deacon Greg Kandra, best known for his popular blog “The Deacon’s Bench,” will deliver daily reflections. Deacon Kandra is an author, speaker, blogger, and award-winning journalist, who was ordained a deacon in the Diocese of Brooklyn in 2007.
