Catholicterp7 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I had very good experiences on retreats with them. There are a few talks about discernment/religious life in general, a Marian procession, all night Adoration, Mass, hearing the postulants' stories, really fun white elephant game after dinner, and lots and lots of talking with other women who are in varying stages of discernment and the Sisters as well. It's a really good chance to get away from life and spend time with God and other women trying to live how God wants them to. JMJ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
