OUR RETREAT THEME:

During these retreat weekends, through presentations, prayer and personal time for reflection, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their faith life in order to be Christ’s witness in our own time.

From regular retreatants we hear: "Just arriving at the Center brings calm and peace." "The retreat experience deepens my relationship with God." "The retreat is my yearly boost. It helps to keep me going.”

We offer you a rewarding weekend and an opportunity to relax in a quiet, peaceful, and prayerful atmosphere. It's a time to forget your business problems, home and family worries ‑‑ a time to get a fresh slant on your career, your family, your friends and your God.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

	Casual clothes are in order. A light jacket or sweater would be a thoughtful addition.
	All rooms are singles. A few doubles are available on request.
	If a retreatant has a personal health problem /disability, needs a special diet, or has need for a special room, please advise our retreat office when making your reservation.
	Check-in time is from 5:00pm - 7:45pm on Friday with a pick-up supper from 6:00pm until 7:30pm.
