Workshops, Retreats & Other Opportunities
Spanish Mental Health Workshop - March 29, 2025
The Office for the New Evangelization and the Community Center at Visitation are co-sponsoring a workshop in Spanish about mental health. This event will be very similar to the Faith and Mental Health workshop we ran last year in English but it will take into account how mental health is viewed and addressed in Hispanic culture. Please share the attached flyer and link below with anyone who may benefit.
Forgiving Others and Inner Healing Retreat - March 26, 2025
This Lent, we will focus on one of Jesus' strongest mandates: forgiving others. Although this can be hard to do, we will discuss practical steps to guide you through the process. We will also learn what forgiveness is and what it is not. Even when we do forgive others, there can be painful memories that resurface. Learn how to achieve peace of mind and how to replace negative thought chatter with God's affirming words of love. The day includes morning hospitality, two conferences, Mass, the opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, quiet prayer time, and lunch.
Early Bird Registration by March 21st.
