Embracing God’s Gift of Hope

It was amazing to be back on the beautiful Mater Dolorosa grounds. It was also incredible that after being the first retreat weekend that was cancelled due to the 2020 lockdowns, ours was the first retreat weekend to enjoy some post-pandemic treatment. Masks were optional, and the dining room was open for the first time. We also had two conferences inside. It was such a blessing to be able to enjoy things being so close to “normal”.
St. Denis had the largest representation of men, which was also wonderful, and it was great that Jay was able to make his first retreat with us this year.
The feedback from the men was very positive, and we hope more of our brothers will be able to join us next year!
