Silence is one of the most noticeable things about retreat houses: people come here to be quiet, to slow down, to find peace. But others stay away because the thought of silence is alien or frightening.
So what is the silence of Loyola Hall all about? What does it mean in practice? And how does the silence of a retreat relate to the noise and rush of our ordinary lives?
