On this retreat we will take time to consider the following...
Withdraw: Finding sanctuary in the noise.
Within: Recognizing your inner sacred space.
Without: Hearing God’s voice in daily moments.
With You: Experiencing God in the Eucharist.
Withstand: Carrying the sanctuary into the world.
-
Amidst considering our dwelling place with God, we will take time for prayer, as a group and individually. All for the sake of growing in relationship with our Lord.

This retreat is different from what we have done in the past. Two separate weekends, one for the men to gather and one for the women to gather.
It’s important that we take time in our year to gather as brothers and sisters. These retreats aren’t just so we can talk about things that we usually don’t when in the presence of the opposite sex. These retreats are so we can fully enter into brotherhood and sisterhood. Truly a way of life that seems to be lost on our world today.
-
As brothers and sisters in Christ one way we can build each other up is through challenging and supporting one another. On this retreat we will take time for small group discussion to work towards that goal.

No retreat is complete without time for games! High energy, competitive, and sometimes strange. It'll be tons of fun!
“As Paul puts it: ‘We are transfigured into his likeness, from splendor to splendor’ (see 2 Cor. 3:18). We become like that which we gaze upon… The holy and glorious God is constantly inviting us to come to him, to hold converse with him, to ask for such things as we need and to experience what a blessing there is in fellowship with him.”
-Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, Treasure in Clay
