The renewal starts at 8:00 AM on Saturday, February 15, and concludes at 2:30 PM on Sunday, February 16. Sunday Mass will be included in the weekend. We ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can get you situated. Please enter at the Education Center entrance, which is in between the Parish Center and the Family Life Center. Our team will be waiting for you to help guide and greet you! You will want to wear comfortable clothing on Saturday (sweats, jeans, sweaters, etc). You will receive an email with all these details and more too.
St. Basil sponsors the weekend and will provide the food, snacks and beverages for your entire stay. You are also welcome to bring any food with you that you might need. IMPORTANT: Please let us know if you have any food allergies or dietary needs so we can prepare items for you. There is a place in the form to list your allergies.
Part of the experience of this retreat is staying overnight. It truly allows you to disconnect from your responsibilities and connect with Jesus and the other women with you. Many participants have been hesitant but have seen the benefits of staying overnight. (If you have concerns with staying overnight, please reach out to our team to discuss them. You can do that by reaching out to the Parish Office Team. They will connect you with one of our team members.) We will provide the cots for each participant. Please bring your own bedding, sleeping bags, sheets, covers and pillows. You may bring an air mattress if you would prefer. Please remember your pump too.
There are no showers on site. Please bring whatever items you feel comfortable with using for washing up, brushing teeth, deodorant, etc. Please bring comfortable clothes to sleep in and something to wear the next day.
We understand that everyone will be leaving different situations at home. You may need your phone/watch. We will ask that you leave them at your cots throughout the day. And we will have a system set in place for emergencies.
Thank you again for your interest in this wonderful renewal program. The team has been praying for you! Yes, you! We cannot wait to meet you!
