Fr. Patrick W. Collins, Ph.D., is an outstanding author, preacher, musician and university professor. He senses that his principal vocation is to contemplative living—out of which his various ministries flow. In addition to numerous books and articles, Fr. Collins has produced forty-five TV programs, and a number of videos, among them Thomas Merton: Man, Monk, Myth with Music. Fr. Collins presents various kinds of retreats, missions, and workshops, including what he calls "spiritual concerts" which combine texts and tunes for spiritual insight and growth. This approach gives a  feelingful dimension to the meaning of the words and connects head with heart, reason and imagination. He calls it "Music with  a Message."  

2005-2008 Retreats

Preached Retreats

Parish Missions

The theme Sophia/Wisdom leads us in this retreat.  Beginning with the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Scriptures,
 we explore the writings of our early and contemporary Church to understand the Wisdom that is beyond all understanding.
 At the heart of this retreat is the work of Elizabeth Johnson and her book "She Who Is."
