Retreat 2013

Why go on a Spiritual Retreat?


It will center on your relationship with God, and explore all the consequences of that relationship, including your decisions and your actions.

It allows you to withdraw from ordinary daily life to nourish ones inner spiritual longings.

It is a move to open oneself to the inner workings of the mind and spirit.

You will be able to meditate in peaceful surroundings with a choice to be solitary and still or in company of like minded souls to grow spiritually

Little Known Facts about Saints


St. Anthony of Padua, is the patron saint for lost items. Catholics say this prayer to find them: “St. Anthony, please look around; something is lost and must be found.”

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was not Irish himself. He was born in Scotland and was captured by Irish pirates; after he escaped he eventually returned as a missionary.

St. Jerome, (who translated the first one-volume Bible from Hebrew and Greek into his native Latin) removed a thorn from a lion’s paw and it immediately became his pet.
