YOU’RE INVITED!
Frequently asked questions: 
Who attends the Retreat? Welcome is a retreat for St.Clare parishioners, ages 18 and older, of all backgrounds and faith journeys. We enjoy great fellowship, have fun and share delicious meals together.

Will I have to talk in front of people? After brief introductions, participants are encouraged to share in small groups. The extent to which you engage in discussion is up to you. Is there a lot of solitary prayer? There will be opportunities for quiet reflection, but most of the time is spent sharing personal experiences and learning from one another. 

What will my family do without me? This may be a wonderful opportunity for family members to have some quality time  without you. You also may find that your Welcome experience helps to strengthen relationships at home!

Do I have to sleep at the school? You are encouraged to sleep there, but it is not required. Don’t let that be a reason not to join us! (Bring your air mattress and dry shampoo, as there are no shower facilities.)

What should I wear? Dress is casual and comfortable. Easy on-and-off shoes or slippers are recommended, as we will frequently visit a prayer room, where no shoes are allowed. (We will include a packing list in your confirmation email.)

What about food? Food is provided and plentiful. Please note any dietary restrictions on your registration form.
