Inside the Retreat

Come away for a sacred weekend of rest, renewal and restoration. This year's Beloved Catholic Women's Retreat invites you to pause from the demands of daily life and enter a space of peace, prayer and fellowship. With the theme Restore, we will explore how God tenderly heals our hearts, minds and bodies and renews our strength and restores our joy.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Camp Homewood, you'll be nourished by meaningful talks from our keynote speaker Megan Turland, personal reflection time, the sacraments, and shared prayer with other women of faith. All women ages 19+ are welcome- come as you are, and leave refreshed in spirit and restored by grace.
