Women's Retreat
This retreat weekend is for women of all ages desiring a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ, including those who recently encountered a conversion, experienced renewal in the Holy Spirit. and those in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (such as Magnificat) who desire refreshment.

The Life in the Spirit retreat will include talks about the Father’s intimate love for each person, and the opportunity to seek the healing Jesus has for all, and to learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and experience His empowerment. The retreat will include talks and personal testimony, small group discussion, times of praise and worship, and opportunities for silence and Eucharistic adoration, the sacraments, and prayer focused on stirring into flame the gifts of the Spirit.

Please note: due to the discussion and praise and worship music, this is not like a silent retreat typically held at OLGC Retreat House.

Rooted in the heart of Catholic charismatic renewal, Magnificat desire to renew women's’ relationship with Jesus Christ and deepen their openness to the Holy Spirit and His supernatural gifts.
