Retreats

“By the end of my last retreat, I felt that I had found another family in the Catholic Retrievers.” Chi-Chi, C‘23

Retreats are a really special part of our ministry. These are key moments that give us the opportunity to “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while” (Mark 6:31). After all of our retreats, our community has strengthened and all who have attended have felt a deeper connection to Jesus Christ.

If you are hesitant to attend one of our retreats, please consider the words of Ellen:

“Want to come on retreat, but anxious about getting all of your work done? Jesus's friend Martha was, too (see Luke 10:39-42). Martha's anxiety over her workload tempted her to forgo precious time with Jesus. In reply, Jesus doesn't tell her that her work and responsibilities aren't important - but he does challenge her priorities. he makes that challenge of each of us, too. Trust Jesus. Choose the better part. Come on retreat.”
