June 12-17, 2011 or

This retreat will consider the words of Jesus about remembering: “Do this in memory of me,” and our plea: “Remember us, when you come into your kingdom.” We will consider how we yearn to be ‘re-member-ed’ as we journey through life, so that we are always new in our relationship to our God who never forgets us!
Each day includes two presentations, Eucharist, and Evening Prayer. Sacraments of Anointing of the Sick and Reconciliation are also offered. These retreats begin at 7:00 pm on Sunday, and conclude at 1:00 pm on Friday.
Cost: $355. Includes private room with private bath, delicious home-cooked meals, snacks and all materials. Register as soon as possible, as space is limited. $100 non-refundable deposit is requested at registration time.
