Upcoming Retreats

Join us for a women’s retreat rooted in the healing power of forgiveness—because we all carry wounds and long to be free. In this Jubilee Year, let Jesus unlock the prison of unforgiveness and lead us into the mercy and freedom our hearts were made for.

We warmly invite you to the 16th Annual Women’s Fall Retreat, taking place on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at St. Michael Catholic High School, 2755 Hwy. 43, Kemptville, ON. (Please note the new date!)

This year, we are blessed to welcome Angèle Regnier, co-founder of Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO), as our guest speaker. The theme for this year’s retreat is “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me,” (Psalm 51:10).

Our retreat day will begin with the celebration of Holy Mass by Father Brian McNally. Throughout the day, you will be inspired by Angèle’s heartfelt talks on forgiveness and God’s mercy. There will be opportunities for worship, personal prayer, and time set aside for quiet reflection, allowing you to connect deeply with the theme and experience God’s presence in a meaningful way.

A nourishing lunch and light refreshments will be served, allowing time for community and conversation. The registration fee for the retreat is $50, which includes all sessions, morning snack and lunch.

Come and experience the peace and joy of a day spent in God’s presence, surrounded by a supportive community of women. We look forward to sharing this special time with you.
