Join us for a diocesan retreat on the witness of the Eucharist! We are grateful to offer a time of prayer, inspiration, and opportunity to remember the depth of God's love in the Eucharistic Lord, and how we can better appreciate it and witness to it in our lives!

You can expect reflections and inspirational talks by Fr. Jonathan Fasnacht and Susan Windley-Daoust, Eucharistic adoration, opportunities for confession, Mass on Saturday and Sunday, and faith-sharing. If you have any questions, feel to contact Susan at swindley@dowr.org .

The retreat starts on Friday at 7pm and ends on Sunday at noon. The Immaculate Heart of Mary seminary offers individual bedrooms with bathrooms in the hallway, as well as its own chapel for prayer. Food will be simple but nourishing. Finally, the Saint Mary's University campus has renowned walking/hiking trails if you to take advantage of that!

If people prefer to commute, you are welcome. If people are unable to come until 9am Saturday, you are welcome. Please contact Emily Smithley via email if that is the case (esmithley@dowr.org).

This event now has a waitlist. Please contact Susan Windley-Daoust at swindley@dowr.org about availability. Commuters accepted through July 31. A draft schedule of the retreat may be found HERE.
