Women's Silent Retreat 2026

In peaceful silence, we hear the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit, inviting us to become the women God made us to be. 

Please join us for the Women’s Silent Retreat. There will be time to journal, express your creativity, experience silent prayer, and participate in spiritual direction if you choose. Mostly we will rest in the presence of our loving creator.
