Women’s Silent Retreat
June 16 - 18, 2023
Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center
Sierra Madre, CA

Who is Jesus Christ? Who am I? Finding the divinity within.
We often try to discover the complex relationship between ourselves and Jesus Christ. We want to know what it should be, how deep it should be, what does Christ want of us, is Christ within us, and if so, where can we find the divine within us? We will attempt to explore all such questions and provide a deep dive to help discover where Jesus Christ resides deep inside us.

Married Couples Retreat

The Catechism teaches that "Christ’s grace in the Sacrament of Marriage protects the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the generation and education of children. These purposes are protected and fostered by the permanence of the marriage bond and the mutual fidelity of spouses”  (United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, 283).

All couples are encouraged to participate in this opportunity to enrich and strengthen your marriage, sacrament and relationship with one another and God.
