November 17-19, 2023
Sr. Anita Constance, S.C.

At Holy Family, we invite women in recovery into a peaceful atmosphere where you can rest, renew your spiritual life, and deepen your sobriety. Hear an inspiring lecture, get a massage (extra fee), catch up on some rest, and care for yourself as we care for you in mind, body, and spirit. Our Matt Talbot weekends are open to ALL people, from ALL backgrounds, regardless of whether or not you are a member of a church. The retreat begins on Friday with a buffet dinner from 6:00-7:30 p.m. and concludes on Sunday around 11:00 a.m.

$125 scholarships are available for retreatants who are currently experiencing financial hardship. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.  All inquiries should be directed via e-mail to MTR.Scholarships@gmail.com.

Offering: $250. ($10 dues to be collected upon arrival will offset the cost of medallions, scholarships, and retreat materials)

A Day to Breathe

Join us on Friday morning of your retreat weekend (any time after 9:00 a.m.), check in early, enjoy some quiet time and a nurturing lunch, and settle in before the retreat begins. Offering: $50
