on-site annually, and separately for women and men. This parish-based
retreat program promotes a strong parish community, rooted in prayer and faith
sharing from a common shared experience. Candidates for the weekend become
team members for the next retreat.
Cursillo:
A weekend retreat (Thursday - Sunday) is held separately for
women and men. Deepen your faith and commit this time to talk to God and
discover what God is doing in your life? At follow-up meetings we discuss
how we met Christ during the week or how it seemed Christ wasn't there.
This helps us keep a daily focus on being in God's presence. Contact Mike
