Upcoming Retreats
Young Adult Fall Retreat
This event requires official registration via the Office for Evangelization website.
We all need to take time to rest, retreat from the world, and recharge. This fall, young adults (ages 18-39) from across the Diocese of Richmond have an opportunity for a spiritual weekend retreat in a relaxing beach environment. The retreat will include a combination of keynote sessions and personal reflection times, and a priest will be available throughout the weekend for Mass, Reconciliation, and Eucharistic Adoration. There will also be ample opportunities for prayer, fellowship, and downtime. Lean into our 2023 theme of “Courage, Dear Heart”, finding both comfort and strength in Jesus’s true presence in our hearts and in the world!

Registration:
$175/person by September 24, 2023
Registration closes Sunday, September 24 at 11:59pm!
