St Joes Kid Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 This is a question for folks who have been on retreats at Villa Maria Guadalupe in Connecticut. (I know a lot of people have because they're always full!) Does anyone know of a comparable order in the Southern US that does comparable retreats? By comparable, I mean: 1) A similar mix of silence/prayer, adoration, and cool/enthusiastic/orthodox/fun sisters? 2) Co-ed retreats that aren't marriage encounters 3) A similar orthodox-yet-laid-back, non-geriatric vibe among the retreatants? As in, serious prayerful weekend retreats for the under-40 crowd? With maybe a foosball table? When my husband and I lived in NYC we used to go up there all the time. We actually met on a retreat with the Sisters of Life. Now that we're in the south, we miss that part of our relationship! At this point I am considering just signing up for the next retreat in CT and flying us both up there. But that sounds super-expensive and inconvenient. We could drive anywhere in TX, AR, LA, TN, OK... Thanks. God bless you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilllabettt Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 they have a mixture of retreats (silent/talking, preached/notpreached, intended audience, etc.) call them, describe what you're looking for, and they can recommend something. http://www.sisterservants.org/schedule.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
