The 2007 central Illinois area annual men's retreat at the Jesuits' White House Retreat Center in St. Louis will be held Dec. 6-9. The retreat will begin with dinner on Thursday evening and last until after a noon dinner on Sunday.

Interested men should contact the 2007 chairman Denny Kirchgesner by Nov. 13 by calling (217) 629-8260.

Reservations for single rooms are first come, first served and car-pooling is possible, according to Kirchgesner.

"This is perfect timing during Advent, and before Christmas and the end of the year," he said.
