Seeking God’s Direction in Life
Life is filled with choices—but how do we know which path God is calling us to follow?
From May 1–3, 2026, Sister Judith Marie Blizzard and Father Edward Nowak invite you to step away from the noise of everyday life and enter into a sacred time of listening at Maryville Retreat Center.
A Discernment Retreat for Women and Men
Following Your Heart’s Desire is a discernment retreat for both women and men who are seeking clarity about what comes next—whether that be a call to religious life, priesthood, marriage or a new direction in career and purpose.
Prayer, Reflection and Spiritual Guidance
Through guided reflection, prayer and conversation, participants will be accompanied through the discernment process in a supportive and faith-filled environment. This retreat offers not answers handed to you—but space, tools and spiritual guidance to help you recognize God’s voice already present in your life.

When you make space to listen, your heart often already knows the way.
A Sacred Setting at Maryville Retreat Center
Maryville Retreat Center is a sacred place of renewal and encounter, nestled in the natural beauty of Holly, Michigan. Here, away from the noise and demands of daily life, participants are invited to rest, reflect, and trust that God meets us in the questions as faithfully as in the answers.
