The Way of Surrender: A One Day Retreat: Empty to be Filled

This retreat invites you to discover true peace, empty ourselves to allow Christ to live within, and hear His call in our lives In a world that often confuses comfort with peace, it can be difficult to recognize God's voice and surrender to His will. Join us for a day retreat as we explore what it means to let go of our own plans, empty ourselves to make room for God to live in us, and trust in His perfect love. Through talks, small-group discussions, personal prayer, and time in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, we will learn to distinguish true peace from false peace and recognize God's invitation in our daily lives. Come and experience the freedom that comes from surrendering to Him and allowing Him to lead the way. We are blessed to welcome the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR) Brothers and the Sisters of Mercy, who will join us throughout the retreat.
