LIVING IN CHRIST PARISH-BASED RETREATS

Living in Christ

Living in Christ is a parish-based, one day retreat (including Mass) geared for adults (age 18-118) presented by people of the parish community. They share their stories of faith, helping you make your own connection between your faith and life. Through presentations, discussions, music, prayer and ritual, you are presented with an opportunity to begin, renew or strengthen your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • Adults preparing for sacraments;
  • Parents whose children are preparing for sacraments;
  • Anyone in parish ministry or as preparation for participation in parish ministry;
  • Anyone between the ages of 18-118!
