Have you been wondering how to deepen your spiritual life? The spiritual life is a journey toward the God who is love, a process of deepening our relationships with God and with one another. It takes place in the context of the Church community, made up of Christian fellow travelers.
The Adult Retreat Ministry seeks to help members of the St. Andrew the Apostle community attend to this longing. We offer a variety of opportunities for spiritual growth and reflection throughout the year.
A retreat is a time away to be quiet, to pray, to reflect on life and where God is in your life. This weekend is designed to provide an atmosphere of quiet, reflection and adult learning within a supportive community of like-minded adults.
Members of the retreat ministry team meet monthly to plan and coordinate hospitality for upcoming events and invite any parish member to join this growing ministry. Contact Cathy Olds for more information.
