Religious Sisters Retreat: In the Footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi

Dear sister in Christ,

Our theme for the 2023-24 season is: “In the Footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi.” By delving into our Franciscan tradition, we will unravel the life of St. Francis and explore key events in his conversion and ministry. Through his life, the weekend retreat will be an opportunity for you to know St. Francis more deeply and to recognize those moments of grace in your own life as a consecrated woman. This weekend will help deepen your awareness of God’s loving presence and embrace the Gospel with evermore joy.

There will be opportunities for silent reflection, preached talks on St. Francis, one-on-one spiritual dialogue with the preachers, Mass, Eucharistic adoration, confession, healing service, and strolls in the beautiful God’s creation.

Please join us at Capuchin Retreat Center so that we can journey with St Francis and learn to love God as he loved God. A suggested donation of $650 is recommended. A $100 nonrefundable deposit secures your spot at the retreat. Please reach out to us if you have any questions. We hope to see you at this retreat. God bless.

Peace & all good,

The Capuchin Friars and the staff

Please join us at Cap Retreat so that we can pray with Jesus, like Jesus, and rediscover the riches of being God’s beloved children. A suggested donation of $600 is recommended. A $50 nonrefundable deposit secures your spot at the retreat.

“The Lord’s Prayer is a great prayer that Jesus taught us because it was the very same prayer he used with God. It’s so beautiful to pray like Jesus” – Pope Francis

Women’s Weekend Retreat: #20

Sometimes prayer is a struggle. When the disciples of Jesus had struggles in their prayer life, they plainly asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray” (Lk 11:1). And Jesus gave them simple, yet incredibly profound words to pray to God. Thus, the Lord’s Prayer becomes the model and pattern for all our prayers AND for our entire spiritual life. But how often do we mindfully utter the words of this prayer? How often do we truly ponder and explore the spiritual depths of this prayer?

Having discerned with the help of the Holy Spirit, the Capuchin Retreat Center offers “Living the Lord’s Prayer” as the theme for this year. The retreat conferences inspired by the Scriptural passages, Franciscan Capuchin Tradition, and the reflections of Pope Francis, offer a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon the words and spirituality of the Lord’s Prayer so that we dare not only to PRAY, but also truly dare to LIVE within this prayer.
