Greetings!
The beatification of John Henry Newman was a powerful reminder to priests, deacons, and religious of what is most important. Newman, both as an Anglican and a Catholic, was subject to many trials, disappointments and misunderstandings. Yet he never descended to false compromises or easy agreements. He always remained honest in his search for the truth, faithful to the prompting of his conscience and focused on the ideal of sanctity. One of the mottos Newman chose was “Growth is the only evidence of life” expresses his understanding of the necessity for continuous conversion, transformation and interior growth, always faithfully relying on God. He summed up his own experience of growth in faithfulness to himself and to the Lord’s will in these well known words, “Here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often”.
We welcome you to Trinity Retreat for your retreat during the year 2012. We will be happy to do whatever we can to help you on your spiritual journey.

About Trinity Retreat
In 1974 at the request of Terence Cardinal Cooke, Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR founded Trinity Retreat in Larchmont, New York to provide spiritual direction and retreats for clergy. Trinity is sponsored by the Archdiocese of New York and is dedicated to our Lady of Guadalupe.
As a house of prayer and study, Trinity is open to priests, seminarians, religious brothers, deacons and their wives. It is located on the North Shore of Long Island Sound overlooking the water in one of the most beautiful sections of the New York area. The environment is quiet and serene making it ideal for clergy who would like to take time out just to rest for a few hours or for a day or so. The picturesque surroundings make the presence of God felt and offer a gentle relief from a busy schedule.
