SILENT DIRECTED RETREAT WEEKEND

Due to the frantic pace of contemporary life, it is essential for our spiritual and physical health to take time to pray. The Weekend Directed Retreat offers you the opportunity to experience the graced rhythm of life in which rest restores your body and God revives your soul. Liturgy, Spiritual Direction and optional Contemplative Prayer periods are included. Please register early. These fill quickly. Donation: $125/$40 non-refundable deposit with registration

PERSONAL RETREAT DAY

The day begins and ends with a brief prayer together. Donation: $10; $40 with spiritual direction. Please bring a bag lunch.

PREPARING SPIRITUALLY FOR CHRISTMAS

Give a morning to preparing your heart and soul to celebrate the Mystery of God’s coming into our world at Christmas and into your life every day. Donation: $20, includes lunch

END OF THE YEAR RETREAT

Since God gives us life and time and is Lord over all, it seems appropriate to end the year in prayer. Francis House offers time, space and quiet for naming the graces of 2011 and expressing gratitude to God. The afternoon will focus on our goals, hopes and desires for 2012. Please bring a bag lunch. Love offering
