Annual Spring Retreat

Annual Spring Retreat

at Holy Cross Monastery

Friday, April 5 - Sunday, April 7


Topic: PREPARING FOR JOY!

Facilitator: Dr. Anne Silver


With so many things in our lives to take care of, work on,

and worry about, we can easily miss opportunities to

experience joy. On this retreat, using prayer, Scripture, and discussion, we will consider how to recognize and welcome the sources of joy in our lives.


Facilitator - Dr. Anne Silver

When - April 5 - 7, 2024. Friday afternoon through noontime dinner on Sunday.

Where - Holy Cross Monastery, West Park, NY.

Cost - $250.00 for two nights in a single room including all meals. The retreat begins Friday afternoon and concludes at 1:30 on Sunday following dinner.


This year we have an unusual opportunity. Because early interest has been so high, we exceeded the number of rooms we had reserved. Fortunately, we have been able to secure more rooms and currently have 5 rooms available. If we fill those rooms, we will be the only group at the monastery for the weekend.


For more information, speak to any member of the Healing Prayer Ministry - Kate Gill, Sue Morgan, Jane

Sullivan or Nancy Treacy. Also, visit the Holy Cross website <holycrossmonastery.com> to learn more about the monastery and what to expect.


Sue Morgan is maintaining the sign-up list. Please let her know if you wish to attend <sue.morgan1066@gmail.com> You will receive a confirmation email in early February with information about payment, carpooling, etc.


We hope to see you there!

The Healing Prayer Ministry.
