Women at the Well, a group open to all women interested in spiritual growth, invites you to join us. We are a diverse group, welcoming women aged 18 to 118, striving to become spiritually mature Christian women who grow in our Catholic faith, increase our understanding of it, and share it with others. We do this through book studies, Bible studies, and programs on the Catholic Faith on Wednesday evenings throughout the year. To learn more, please email [email protected]
Women’s Retreat
The theme of the weekend retreats this year is “A Lifetime of Blessedness – Retreats on the Beatitudes.” In our life and world, where the happiness or blessedness of a person is measured by the material wealth and social status acquired, the beatitudes (5:3-12) describe certain qualities and experiences of those who are considered blessed or happy in God’s eyes.
While the qualities and experiences of mourning, being poor in spirit, meek, and persecuted mentioned in the Beatitudes do not seem like blessedness or happiness at the outset, a deeper reflection on them reveals a blessed and happy way of life Jesus intends for those who follow him.
Whatever stage or situation of life you might be in right now, you will find peace on our holy grounds, closeness with God in the prayer services, reconciliation in the sacraments, refreshment for your spirit in the talks, rest for your soul, and fraternal hospitality from the Capuchin brothers when you are here on a retreat.
