Women's Retreats

Over the course of a year, St. Francis offers many retreat options for men, women, and young adults. 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.

2026-27 Retreat Theme:

"And You Will Be My People"

Join us for a walk through the history of God's relentless pursuit of his most cherished creation, and the lengths He will go to rescue us! 

 

Along with thought provoking and enlightening presentations, our retreats include 2 Masses, the opportunity for Reconciliation and Adoration, plus time for individual prayer and fellowship.

 

The suggested donation for a weekend is $250 and includes lodging, meals and materials. Retreats will take place in the Retreat House building, where guest rooms are private. Some share a connecting bath, others use community restrooms down the hall. Rooms all have their own individually controlled heat and a/c unit. The Retreat Center provides towels and bedding.

​

For these retreats, we will be using the iBrievary app for Morning and Evening Prayers. If you do not already use this app, feel free to watch this tutorial on how to download it to your phone.
