Description
Seeking Wholeness and Holiness – Our Spiritual Journey
The last year has taught us many lessons and has given us the opportunity to look at what is essential in our lives. We recognize our interconnectedness to all of life. As we continue our spiritual journey, we reflect on what brings us wholeness; how are we invited to a greater depth of character and purpose. We journey into a renewed way of looking at the world and our place within it following Jesus as our model and guide.

The facility is surrounded by many acres of forestry allowing guests to explore a number of nature trails. There will be scheduled conferences followed by small group discussions which will allow the opportunity for fellowship with other attendees. There is also a Chapel on site and Mass will be celebrated for those that wish to participate. ***While this event is hosted at a Catholic facility, Christians of all denominations are invited to attend. You are welcome to arrive as early as 5:00 pm on Friday May 7th to get settled in. Check-in will be from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm and dinner begins promptly at 7:00 pm!
