The Mystical Visions of St. Bridget: Private Island Retreat & Medjugorje

Father Stash Dailey is a Catholic priest serving in Ohio, known for his reverent celebration of the Holy Mass, deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist, and a priestly ministry rooted in prayer, silence, and fidelity to the Church. As a retreat master and spiritual guide, he will teach on the mystical visions of St. Bridget of Sweden, drawing pilgrims into a deeper contemplation of Christ’s Passion, the interior life of prayer, and the Church’s mystical tradition.

As a retreat leader and spiritual guide, he invites pilgrims to step away from the noise of daily life and enter more deeply into prayer, leading souls to Christ through the sacramental life of the Church.
