Manresa Jesuit Retreat House
 

CAREGIVERS' RETREAT

        

Sr. Sally Smollen, RSM & Mrs. Mary McKeon       

February 3 - 5, 2012 

Are you in a care-giving ministry or situation—personal or professional—that takes much of your time and energy? Are you looking after others in a care-giving situation? You need some respite yourself, some time to be good to yourself, a "getaway" weekend to experience some of the personal care you give to others. It is a chance to re-energize yourself and find the healing touch of God for yourself and your ministry.

Each year Manresa Jesuit Retreat House sponsors a relaxing, restful, restorative weekend retreat specifically for men and women who are care givers—professionals like nurses and health care workers, or people who give home care for members of their own family or others. This weekend is designed to minister to you to allow you to be "receivers" of care, grace and spiritual nourishment. Come rest in the silence and solitude of Manresa's beautiful setting. Find nourishment and refreshment of mind, body, spirit this year. You will experience:

  • Presentations for quiet prayer
  • Experienced presenters in the field
  • Prayer with Scripture
  • Reflection and rest
  • Healing service
  • One-on-one conferences with Jesuits and female support staff
  • Time for mutual sharing

Set aside some time for your own healing and care. You may register for this retreat on line or by calling 248.644.4933.
