PRAYER
Prayer is a central part of our lives and one of the main ways by which we grow closer to Jesus.
Some of the retreat highlights include:
|
LEARNING
We can't love God without knowing about Him, so a portion of the retreat is dedicated to learning about His love through:
ConferencesRetreat talks are given by sisters or guest speakers on faith, Eucharist, and Our Lady intertwined into the theme of the retreat.
|
Small Group ReflectionsLarge group learning is balanced with smaller groups discussion and reflection sessions that encourage stronger bonds and deeper sharing.
|
Q & A and Private TalksGirls can ask questions to a panel of sisters or a priest as well as approach any sisters or leaders for private questions or spiritual concerns.
|
SACRAMENTS
As a part of the retreat, the girls will have a chance to participate in the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Confession.
Why Eucharist?
The Eucharist is the most intimate way to be with Our Lord. By receiving Him, we say "Yes" to His call and His love and to be united with Him. In the Eucharist, Jesus models for us His perfect love and sacrifice.
"There is no greater love."
"There is no greater love."
Why Reconciliation?
God is Love and He always loves us. Always. We were made to be loved. However, as we sin, we separate ourselves from His love and that can spell trouble. We can feel lonely, lost, confused, and hurt. We may feel that we want to reach out to God, but feel that we are unforgivable and unlovable. The separation we created can often feel like a deep chasm.
Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God fills that chasm and heals us the way that only He can. He forgives our sins, reminds us of His unwavering love, and renews our spirit. Through Reconciliation, He calls us back to His embrace.

FRIENDSHIP & JOY
The girls develop a great sense of camaraderie throughout the retreat gaining strength from the knowledge that they are not alone in their faith journey into sainthood. They build each other up through an attitude of caring and sharing that permeates the entire retreat.
The close knit bond and friendships created in the retreat is unlike any other.
