Pray All Ways
Jesus told his disciples a parable on the necessity
of
praying always and not losing heart. (Luke 18:1)
A
Women's Retreat
with
Janice Perrault, p.m. & Sylvia Genesse, p.m.
The desire of
Jesus for us seems almost impossible. How can we do this with
our hectic schedules and heavy responsibilities? Maybe, Jesus
meant pray all ways!
We will learn how to integrate prayer into our daily lives by
attuning our bodies, minds and spirits to God's wave lengths.
Until we learn how to pray all ways, we will be tempted
to replace prayer with work or acts of kindness. Separated
from the heart that is praying, these actions are no longer fruitful
and redemptive, but they become simply good deeds. So do come,
and together, let us listen to the Spirit who wishes to teach us how
to pray all ways, and enrich our lives!
Cost: $160.00
Arrival: 6:30 PM
Friday Departure: 1:00 PM Sunday

"Extreme Makeover" ~Women
Transformed by Christ
A Women's Retreat
with
Aline Plante, p.m.
This retreat for women will consist of
seeing Jesus from a woman's point of view. In the film,
Magdalena: Through Her Eyes, which portrays the story
of Jesus as seen through the eyes of Mary Magdalene - we will
especially focus on the stories of four biblical women: Mary
Magdalene, the Samaritan Woman at the well, the woman who touched
Jesus' garment and the woman caught in adultery. We shall see
how their lives were radically transformed when Jesus healed them
and gave them a new purpose for living. After all, women in
Biblical times experienced stress, illness and loneliness just as
women do today. We will ponder on how Jesus still offers us
today, his love, healing, peace, freedom and hope.
Cost: $160.00
Arrival: 6:30 PM Friday Departure: 1:00 PM Sunday

Claiming the Promise
I came that you may have life and have it to the full.
(Jn.10:10)
with
Helene Cote, p.m.
Jesus' words expressed in John 10:10 are both a promise and a
challenge. They promise the "more" that we are all seeking and
they challenge us to trust God's presence in our lives. During
this time of retreat, we will explore how to open ourselves to these
life-giving words, how to re-examine the choices we make and thus
live in a way that is both fully human and deeply spiritual.
There will be one conference a day.
Cost: $500.00
Arrival: 3:00PM Saturday Departure: Saturday after breakfast

The Many Facets of
Compassion
with
Dr. Pauline Fournier
The
virtue of compassion is one of the greatest expressions of charity:
Love of God and love of neighbor. The practice of compassion
inspires us to treat everything in the universe with the greatest
respect, positive regard and care. The theologian Bernard
Haring had this to say regarding compassion: "Without
compassion, both zeal for the law and zeal for piety lose their
credibility." This retreat will challenge us to a prayerful
examination on how best to practice this indispensable virtue for
our spiritual growth.
Cost: $500.00
Arrival: 3:00 PM / Saturday Departure: Saturday after breakfast
