Women’s Retreat Weekend: “In the Footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi”

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 to know St. Francis more deeply and to recognize those opportunities of grace in your own life…deepening your awareness of God’s loving presence and embracing the Gospel with evermore joy.

The suggested donation for this weekend retreat is $250
