September 24, 2022 Retreat Questions:
Q: Are all the retreats the same?
A: Each retreat is different. The retreat in September 2022 is a retreat for ages 11 and older. Basically youth and young adults, adults, and elderly. We are all in this together.
Q: Is this retreat only for women?
A: This retreat is for both men and women, teens and young adults.
Q: Is there an age requirement?
A: The intent for this retreat/workshop is to discover and implement ideas that can be used within the family and our communities. We encourage youth from eleven, teens, young adults and adults to participate. The things going on in society affect all ages. We will be discussing things that we all can do to persevere in our faith within the societal issues we all face.
Q: Is it ok if I wait and register at the door on the day of the retreat?
A: We have a limit on the amount of participants we can have the size of the facility. Seats go fast. For previous retreats, all seats were taken as close as a week before the day of the retreat. It is best to register a.s.a.p. to make sure there is a seat available.

A: Yes, please register online or call to reserve seats. Seats may not be available the day of the retreat/workshop.

A: The only thing required is your smile. We provide water, snacks, coffee, tea, and lunch. We also provide something to write on and pens if you want to take notes.
Q: Can I bring a friend.
A: YES, please register as many friends as you want to bring. Remember seats go fast. Register early to make sure we reserve a seat for all of you.
