Men's and
Women's Retreats
Over the course of a year, St. Francis offers many retreat options for men and women. All are welcome to join us for a weekend to strengthen their faith as a community. We encourage individuals to bring a friend or invite someone who may have been away from the Church for a while to share the retreat experience. Non-Catholic friends are always welcome.
The Retreat Director and a guest speaker will present a number of inspiring talks and lead group discussions over the weekend. The agenda also includes Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, and time for individual prayer and reflection.
A suggested donation of $200 will be asked for during the retreat, or you can make your donation when you register online. If you cannot afford the full donation, we just ask that you give what you are able.
The Gift of the Eucharist:
Retreat for Revival
The Catholic Church is in year 2 of a 3 year Eucharistic Revival. We say the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith...but why? And what does that mean for you? This retreat will explore several aspects of the Eucharist from it's Jewish roots through how the Eucharist is meant to transform every one of us.
These weekend retreats, in addition to those talks, we'll have the normal opportunities for Mass, Reconciliation, and a special focus of Eucharistic Adoration. Consider being in the building and being able to go to Adoration during the overnight hours. You're invited to an encounter with the Eucharistic Lord.
