About

Friday - Sunday, 17-19 January

Step away from the stress of life and take time to look at your life with God. In the midst of the demands of normal life and daily commitments, a retreat is a good time to reset and find the key to a freer and more fulfilled life, close to Jesus. The atmosphere of personal prayer and recollection helps you to get to know God better, to grasp the meaning and purpose of your life and respond with more enthusiasm to life's challenges.

Outline

The retreat  begins Friday at 9pm with light refreshment, ends Sunday at 4 pm.

This event is a great opportunity to connect with other women seeking growth in spirituality while facing the challenges of raising teenage children. You have the opportunity to do this retreat while your teenage girl can participate in the Weekend Retreat for Teen Girls.

While both retreats take place on the same grounds, they will be separated (Conference Centre and Lismullin House). Therefore, you can travel together but each one will do their own retreat.

Theme: Loving God in and through my family.

Session 1: How to do a Good retreat, Wendy Fitzsimons
Session 2: Finding God as me in Prayer,  Eithne Black
