Franciscan Retreats: Day Retreats

Day Retreats

We will begin offering a series of Day Retreats this summer at Franciscan Retreats. The Day Retreats are “stand-alone,” which means that one may attend any or all of them. Please note that the Saturday retreats on May 30 and June 6 will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude at 4:00 p.m. followed by Vigil Mass for Sunday for those who wish to attend. The retreat on Tuesday, August 11 will begin at 9:30 a.m and conclude at 3:30 p.m.

Pre-registration is not necessary, but is welcomed, either by phone (952-447-2182) or e-mail (see Contact Us). The suggested donation for the day is $25.00. Participants bring their own lunch (which can be refrigerated if needed); water and coffee (regular and de-caff) are provided.

Forgiveness can be one of the most challenging endeavors for anyone,
and yet the thread of forgiveness is very present in any healing we may
receive. Sometimes forgiveness needs to be extended to ourselves as
well as those individuals or groups that have wounded us.

    Healing and Life Transitions - Saturday, June 6
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. followed by Vigil Mass for Sunday

Life presents us with many changes; some are unplanned, e.g., loss of health, loss of a job or the loss of a relationship; others are a natural part of aging. We will explore how these difficult times of transition can lead to new growth and a closer relationship to God and one another.
