WHAT IS CATHOPULT
A SPIRITUAL ASCENT.
A boot camp for the heart. A path that transforms.
Cathopult is a free, accessible, and radically practice-oriented form of retreat that meets people where they are—and leads them to where God wants them to be.
Without hurdles. Without complicated structures. Without being overwhelmed.
For priests as well as for laity—whether as retreat directors or as assistants—the effort is minimal: short units, clear guidance, maximum spiritual impact.
For lay participants, it can be integrated into everyday life:
20 minutes, only twice a week at the beginning—and the path begins to burn.
Cathopult is not a course.
It is a spiritual drill with long-term effects:
through concrete exercises that you don’t just understand,
but live, incorporate, and persevere in.
The goal is not inspiration.
The goal is transformation.
A real breakthrough in the relationship with Mary—
MARY
is the fastest, surest, easiest, and most perfect way
to JESUS CHRIST.
Cathopult is the place
where people rise up,
allow themselves to be formed,
and walk the path of Mary,
until Christ takes shape in them.
How Cathopult works—simple, clear, without hurdles
Cathopult is deliberately designed
so that anyone can start immediately—
without technical stress, without installations, without effort.
Here are the steps, as simple as possible:
1. Register with basic data
You only enter the most necessary basic data.
No long forms, no complicated processes.
A clear starting point.
2. Select start date
One unit per week.
You choose your suitable weekday –
either in the morning at 11:00 AM or in the evening at 8:30 PM.
Cathopult is flexible—you join in
when it fits into your daily routine.
Example from SECTION I: The Ascent
One unit per week for six weeks.
You participate either on Tuesdays or Thursdays—
either at 11:00 AM (duration 20 minutes) or at 8:30 PM (duration 20 minutes).
3. Material
The material for each unit is handed out digitally afterwards.
Nevertheless, it is important to join live if possible,
because the spiritual guidance and the shared rhythm
only unfold their full effect through real participation.
4. Receive email with access link
After your registration, you will receive an email with a direct access link
to the virtual video conference (Zoom). One click is enough.
Works on PC, laptop, mobile, tablet, no installation necessary,
the room opens automatically, the unit starts punctually at the specified time
5. The 20-minute unit
The retreat director leads through the unit clearly, calmly, and with spiritual precision.
Short introduction,
concrete spiritual exercise,
Marian orientation,
focus on the essentials,
no overloading, no pressure, only clarity.
6. Exercises for everyday life
At the end, the director shows
which small, concrete exercise
you should integrate into your daily life in the coming days.
Short. Practical. Effective.
The Result
A path that is easily accessible,
spiritually deep,
and feasible for everyone.
A path that leads through Mary—
and opens toward Christ.
