Midweek Retreat Schedule *
   * Please note changes in the 2010 Midweek Retreat Schedule

Effective in 2010, we will change the schedule of our Midweek Retreats to match the weekend schedule. Both midweek and weekend retreats will begin at 7:30 p.m. with the welcome and orientation in the Marian Lounge. Retreatants are welcome to arrive early, i.e., any time between 3-5:30 p.m. on the day of their retreat. We will have a prayer service at 4:30 p.m., and a light supper at 5:30 p.m. for those who wish who arrive early. Both the midweek and weekend retreats will end with a brunch at 12:30 p.m. on the final day of the retreat. The only significant change for those making a midweek retreat will be that there will be no Mass on the first day of the retreat, other than that, the content of the retreat will be the same as before. As on our weekend retreats, our midweek retreatants will be welcome to arrive early–we will welcome you with open arms!
