Confirmation Retreat

"Called by Name"

A retreat is a time to step back, to be still and to nurture our relationship with God. 

Parish Confirmation Retreat:

Four Benedictine Sisters from Sacred Heart Monastery will come to your parish to assist your students in their preparation for Confirmation.  The creative and experiential five-hour retreat focuses on a conversation about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, embracing the sacrament of Baptism, and their vocation and service to the Church.
