Description:
Join us and bring a friend to our second year of coming to know the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit on our Young Professional Grace Retreat. Take time on retreat to pray, relax, adventure, spend time outdoors, and grow closer to God and others. The weekend is spiritually filling, a step away from the pace of life, and there is enough time to settle in at home Sunday night and get ready for the week ahead. It’s a blessed retreat – but don’t just take our word for it. Here is what two of last year’s participants had to say:
· “The retreat blessed me with the chance to defer to the direction of our Lord with my time and attention, and I’ve never felt closer to Him. I came back from retreat rejuvenated and with a new commitment to prayer. Not every retreat will be fundamentally life changing, but it certainly was for me, and I cannot recommend the Grace Retreat enough. Opportunities to be with other young adults freely pursuing the Lord together with no distractions are exceedingly rare, but always worth participating in.” – Anonymous
· “The time that the retreat afforded for prayer and reflection in adoration while tuning out the rest of the world was a blessing. The comfort of being in His presence with no worries and anxiety allowed me to go into those dark areas of my heart and let God give them light. The beautifier from this was taking these reflections into confession and receiving God's grace to begin healing. I am sincerely grateful for the experiences of the retreat and would say that it is a must to go on if you're able, especially in today's world.” - Anonymous
· 80% of last year’s participants strongly recommend the Grace Retreat to others.
· 100% walked away believing that Jesus is someone they can be in a relationship with and know personally and intimately.
If you’ve been looking to take a step in faith, we invite you to take that step on retreat with Our Lady of Grace Young Professionals from October 28-30.
