Holiness is for everyone. In every phase of life. (Seriously). 

Parenting young children comes with a lot of rewards, but, sometimes, it's also really hard. And demanding. And compounding the fact that sometimes you literally have no minutes during the day when someone doesn't NEED SOMETHING DESPERATELY, it's hard to get away on retreat and reconnect with Jesus.

I get it. 

So we made this retreat to be manageable. It's one day. Bring your baby (leave your big kids with dad or grandma or a babysitter). Bring a pack n play. Feel free to care for your baby while also being on retreat with other people who get it, aka no one is going to side eye you if your baby squawks.

Father Jay Buhman is going to be the leader of the retreat and he's going to address these questions of "what am I doing with my life?" "What if parenting isn't my all time favorite life thing?" "What is my identity now that this is what I'm doing?" And "How can I pray even in the midst of these crazy years?"

There will be time for Mass, confession, silent-ish prayer time, rest, and community. I hope you can join us. 

Retreat will be Saturday October 5th, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 pm at the Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly (just outside of Lincoln) and will include lunch and snacks.
