Monthly recollections

Revisit your life goals and refresh your mind during a "mini-retreat". It includes a meditation given by an Opus Dei priest and a short lecture. Confessions are also possible.

Retreats for students

The silent retreat is one of Valrideau's spiritual activities entrusted to the Prelature of Opus Dei (www.opusdei.ca), an institution of the Catholic Church.

Our Inspiration

St. Josemaria Escriva

Valrideau University is inspired by St Josemaria's message of striving to become the best we can be in our work, in our relationships with others and in all aspects of daily life. St Josemaria founded Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church.
