St. Julie Billiart
Beloved foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur
Parallax

A congregation of Catholic Sisters founded by St. Julie Billiart in France in 1804, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur make known God's goodness through educating for life and taking a stand with the most abandoned people and those living in poverty.

We seek to overcome the unjust societal structures that foster poverty and empower individuals to secure the essentials of life and human dignity such as food, clothing, shelter, healthcare and education. We believe that education, in all its forms, is the most powerful tool for driving change and uplifting the lives of individuals, families, communities and nations.

The Symbolism of the Sunflower

Sunflowers have a deep meaning for us, reflecting our mission and devotion. As they trace the sun’s path across the sky, so do we follow the Son of God, whose presence illuminates and guides our journey.

“Look to God as a sunflower looks to the sun…for life.”
— St. Julie Billiart

SunriseDrawing on Ignatian contemplation, imaginative prayer, and the engagement of the senses, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to enter into intimate conversation with God. 







Throughout the retreat, we will harness the power of imagination and conversation to immerse ourselves in the rich, Advent-themed scenes of Scripture. By placing ourselves within these sacred stories, we deepen our connection to the mystery of Emmanuel—God with us—unfolding in our lives. At the heart of this experience lies the integration of Ignatian Spirituality and Internal Family Systems, guiding us to explore our inner world with spaciousness, courage and grace. Our emotions and feelings—whether sadness, joy, anxiety, or happiness—become pathways to encounter God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Ignatian prayer offers a familiar and profound way to express and share these inner experiences, fostering a personal, heartfelt dialogue with the Divine. 







FORMAT: This preached retreat features 10 talks, daily Mass and abundant time for prayer and reflection. Conducted in an atmosphere of silence, this retreat provides a sacred space to listen, rest and respond to the stirrings of the Spirit as we prepare for the dawn of Christ's coming.







Dates: Dec. 3-6, 2026







Costs: $425 for overnight retreatants (includes lodging and meals). $240 for commuter retreatants (includes lunch and dinner).







Location:  Notre Dame Spirituality Center, 30 Jeffreys Neck Road, Ipswich, MA 







Accommodations:  Simple, relaxing bedrooms with a small desk and chair, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. 

Registration: Spirituality Center website
