Options on doing this Retreat
- As an individual. Make a commitment to do the 3 sessions. Gets a Study Guide HERE
Watch the videos Here and journey through the Retreat program at your own pace. we suggest 1 session a week. Enjoy!
- Small Groups can alternatively meet IN-HOMES! It is easy to host this study, All the videos are easily accessed through Our Parish YouTube Channel Here, and you can get the leader's guide and participant study guides HERE with all discussion materials needed. This way you can choose the best time and day that works for the members of your group and feel comfortable inviting people that may not feel inclined to gather at the church.
- if you don't want to meet in person, you can also form a virtual group and meet on ZOOM or another similar video meeting platform for all those that would rather participate from home. You will still have the opportunity to engage in every aspect of the program. Small groups will view the videos, pray, and talk over the application questions. If you need help setting this up reach out to me at parishcoordinator@stmarymtangel.org
