The Way of the Cross
CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE WAY OF THE CROSS VIDEO
The event is FREE, but if you would like to make a donation to support the Retreat Center, please Click Here.
We had planned to hold a Way of the Cross in our beautiful chapel. Due to the temporary closure of the Retreat Center due to COVID-19, the Lord has provided us with the opportunity to reach an even larger community in prayer during Holy Week and present the Way of the Cross virtually. With special thanks to Lorraine Hess, she has recorded the Way of The Cross, with her beautiful music and meditation to spiritually nourish us during this unprecedented time.
Access to the video will be available throughout Holy Week. -

Why should I come on a retreat?
The word retreat means "to surrender" and "to step back from." While this may not be what first comes to mind when you think of an "active prayer life," taking the time to "retreat" from the demands and busyness of daily life is vital to the health of our souls. Scripture reminds us that God's voice is not often found in the loudest and most obvious ways, but in the still small voice and quietness within our hearts. The retreats we offer provide an atmostphere for you to set aside the cares of the world and breathe in deeply the love of God in order to nourish your soul and be better equipped to face the demands of everyday life with God. One retreat experience might be an (eternal) life-saving investment!
