Encounter With Christ

Encounter With Christ is a weekend retreat for young single adults (18-34) which offers quiet time for prayer, rest, and presentations by a Sister on ways of meeting Christ in everyday life.  In between conferences there will be time for reading and reflection.  Other offerings include Saturday Vespers with the Community, Holy Hour with the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Sunday Eucharist.  Also we suggest you consider a technology “fast” throughout the weekend.
