A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN
Do you sense that something’s missing in your life? Do you feel that if you weren’t so busy, you would be happier, healthier, more effective, more fulfilled and maybe even a better person?
Come to the next Women’s Welcome Weekend! It’s an incredible experience that will help you discover what’s missing in your life and what to do about it. Whether you want to connect with other women in the parish, improve your prayer life or just take a break from the craziness of your everyday life to have more fun and not have to cook, clean or run errands, you will find what you are looking for — and more.

Frequently asked questions:
Who attends the Retreat? Welcome is a retreat for St.Clare parishioners, ages 21 and older, of all backgrounds and faith journeys. We enjoy great fellowship, have fun and share delicious meals together. Due to limited registration, we ask that women only register if they have not previously attended this retreat.
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. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TODAY! (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.
