December 13 - 15, 2019
Advent seems like it is light years away, but before we know it our consumer world will be showing signs of Christmas. It is never too early to begin to ponder how am I going to make this Advent season more spiritually focused than other Advents?
Why not consider setting aside some time now to schedule an Advent Directed Retreat Weekend at St. Raphaela Center.
What is a Directed Retreat Weekend? It’s a weekend of prayer and silence to listen more deeply to the voice of God within, and to share what is heard during this silence with an experienced spiritual guide.
Date: December 13 – 15, 2019
Time: Starting at 4:00pm
Cost: From $210 – $240 (depends on room choice)
Registration: No later than December 10, 2019
