Yes, the entire event is conducted entirely in Latin: talks, liturgy, meals, social conversations, etc. We ask participants to only speak Latin throughout the Cenaculum except in emergencies or matters of real necessity. Sometimes, of course, there is a good reason to use a word or two in another language. For instance, sometimes a talk will mention a Greek or Hebrew word. Or sometimes you won't know the Latin word for something, so you can judiciously ask "quomodo dicitur 'salad?'"

A typical day includes Prime, Mass, breakfast, two conference talks, breaks, Rosary, Confessions, and the Angelus, lunch, midday rest, games, a brief talk, common reading, Vespers, dinner, a walk, evening recreation, and Compline.

In addition to the clothes, hygiene items, medications, and other personal necessities for a week-long stay, you will likely want to bring a rosary, a notebook, a pen, a Latin dictionary, and perhaps a Latin book you would enjoy reading during quiet breaks. In addition, we customarily put on a low-key talent show on the final evening, so consider any props or musical instrument you might need for your talent.

For special dietary needs, you will have a chance to indicate the details on the registration form. You can also reach out to Abbe Jeffrey at retreatcenter@icksp.org with more detailed questions regarding food.

Ita, totum eventum Latine peragitur: sermones, liturgia, prandia, colloquia socialia, et cetera. Rogamus participes ut per totum Cenaculum Latine tantum loquantur, nisi in extremis aut in rebus valde necessariis. Interdum quidem est bona causa uno alterove verbo lingua alia uti. Exempli gratia, aliquando sermo vocabulum Graecum vel Hebraicum memorabit. Vel aliquando vocabulum Latinum rei nescies, et tunc prudenter quaerere potes: "quomodo dicitur 'salad'?"

Dies typicus includit Primam, Missam, ientaculum, duas conferentias, quietes, Rosarium, Confessiones et Angelum, prandium, meridiationem, ludos, sessiunculam brevem, lectionem communem, Vesperas, cenam, deambulationem, delectationem vespertinam, atque Completorium.

Praeter vestes, res ad munditiam pertinentes, medicamenta, et alias necessitates personales pro hebdomada, probabiliter ferre voles rosarium, codicillum, calamum, lexicon Latinum, atque fortasse librum Latinum quem per quietas pausas libenter legeris. Praeterea, more nostro, in ultima vespera moderatum spectaculum talentorum habemus; itaque cogita de quibusvis rebus vel instrumento musico quibus opus sit ad talentum tuum exhibendum.

Pro necessitatibus cibariis peculiares, in formulario inscriptionis eas indicare poteris. Etiam ad Abbatem Jeffrey per retreatcenter@icksp.org cum quaestionibus accuratioribus de cibo scribere potes.
