Please note that this schedule may be subject to changes.
Each day of the retreat we will offer “sessions’ when attendees will be invited to participate in activities which best fit their needs. The activities will span from time for individual prayer/reflection to attending more structured presentations. Attendees will not need to register for these specific session options but rather decide at the retreat and let the Spirit guide them. More detailed information on the offerings will be available a few weeks prior to the Retreat and will be disseminated to the participants at that time.
