For local women who need a day of spiritual renewal, St Rose Parish, in unity with other women, will offer for a one-day retreat on Saturday, March 7. The special event will run from 8 am until to 5 pm, and will include 4:00 Mass. It will be primarily in the Faith Formation Center on the parish grounds, 38 Church Hill Road.

Lent presents a perfect opportunity for everyone to enter into a desert experience. It creates a sense of longing, as do circumstances in lives when nothing makes sense except the presence of God.

Attendees should be prepared to be profoundly filled with the presence of God while exploring the many ways to open their minds to recognizing and releasing the richness of a grateful heart. Enjoy the fellowship of other women who are also taking a brief pause from daily life to deepen their spirit of gratitude in all circumstances.

Suggested donation is $25 per person.
