Our Lady of Calvary - Bristol Retreat Weekend

Fri., March 2, 7:00pm - Sun., March 4, 12:30pm

This year’s Retreat theme, “Rest - Rediscover - Be Renewed,” invites us to reflect on ways we can slow down, quiet ourselves, ponder and listen. As we renew our body, mind and spirit, we commit ourselves “to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with our God.” Now is the time to send in your $50 deposit to reserve your room. The full cost is $200 - $215, according to your means. Financial assistance is available, if needed.

For those who like to arrive early on Friday night, OLC is offering a light soup and supper between 5:30pm and 6:30pm for an additional $5.00.

If you can get away for just one day, try the “Commuter Saturday Retreat” Sat., March 3, from 8:00am - 9:00pm. The all-inclusive day is priced at $100.

Our Lady of Calvary Retreat Center is located at 31 Colton Street in Farmington. For more information, call 860-677-8519, email olcretreat@sbcglobal.net or visit www.ourladyofcalvary.com.
