Schedule of Recollections in the Bay Area

True prayer which absorbs the whole individual benefits not so much from the solitude of the desert as from interior recollection."
​- Saint Josemaria Escriva

These recollections, sponsored by Chestnut Center and Charwick Study Center, offer opportunities to reflect on one's life in the light of Catholic teaching. Recollections consists of spiritual meditations given by a priest, a talk given by a lay woman, and opportunities of quiet prayer and the sacrament of reconciliation.
