A Letter to Silence and Solitude - IgnitumToday : IgnitumToday

One of the cabins at Dumoine Lake Cottages
Every year since I've been a priest, I head off to an outfitters camp in Northwestern Quebec for five days of 'silence and solitude'. It's my most cherished week of the year - free of phones, radio, tv, internet - nothing but peace, quiet and solitude in which to pray, read, write, and relax.


Hopefully my new assignment will permit me the time to do it again this year... although with three parishes to cover, it might be a little more difficult to schedule than in years past. Still, I hope to get there again (even if only for a couple of days) as there's no place better to recharge one's spirit (at least for me) than aside a tranquil lake far away from noise, business, and people.


Where's your quiet place?
