Come to the Well" - Grief Retreat

• Saturday, November 6, 2021, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

  Location: Immaculata Center

  Today’s fast paced society provides little time, space or support for those who have suffered loss.  “Come to the Well” is a day of hope and restoration for anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one:  parents, children, siblings, spouse, etc.  The day is filled with prayer utilizing meditation “Living Scripture,” music, journaling and personal sharing to honor and embrace the reality of shared loss. “Come to the Well” offers opportunities for retreatants to find strength in the sharing to move through the losses of life with hope for a renewed vision.

  The cost is $35.00 per person (including lunch).
  Registration and payment due date is October 30th.
  
  For more information please contact the Office of Pro-Life Apostolate at 337-261-5598.
