About the Retreat

September 27 -29, 2024 (Friday - Sunday)

The Retreat for People Facing Serious Illness offers a unique opportunity for persons who face serious physical illness to come away for a weekend retreat of spiritual renewal and refreshment. Celebrate life and the love of the Lord Jesus in a beautiful and comfortable place among caring and generous people.

The retreat is staffed by a team of gentle and attentive health care professionals who are available to participants throughout the weekend to ensure that their medical needs are met. Experienced physicians and nurses, priests, helpers and volunteers are present to see that they are comfortable and are provided what they may need during the retreat.

The retreat is open to adult men and women.
