The Office of Formation and Discipleship, in collaboration with Life-Giving Wounds, is offering a three-day retreat at the chancery for young adults and adults with divorced or separated parents.
The retreat gives participants a greater understanding of the wound of divorce and the ways it affects their lives, offers advice about the difficulties concerning love and trust of others, and explains how the Catholic faith, spiritual practices and the sacraments are essential to self-knowledge and healing. Further details and a sample retreat schedule can be viewed here.
It will be led by the Life-Giving Wounds traveling retreat team. The retreat begins on Friday, March 25, at 7 p.m. and ends on Sunday, March 27, at 3:30 p.m. Cost per individual is $90 (includes several meals and all materials). Must be 18 or older to attend. To register and for more information, please visit the registration page. For possible retreat scholarship opportunity or for more information, please email me at pmetts@archatl.com.
