Encounter

Are you open to Jesus encountering you in a deep and abiding way, to become a joyful disciple who makes Jesus Christ known and loved?

The Lord is always calling us to go deeper in our relationship with him. There is no end to depth of this journey. Each Day of Reflection will look at three instances where Peter and the disciples encountered Jesus in a new way, then encourage you to do the same. Our day will begin with Mass and offers three Gospel/reflection periods, confessions, spiritual direction, and a unique holy hour with Visia Divina. A light continental breakfast and lunch are provided. Because of the intimate nature of these retreats, registration is limited to 25 souls on each date, and a nonrefundable registration fee of $20 is necessary.

We offer four dates to choose from (the same content will be presented on each date.)
