LADIES’ WEEKEND RETREAT MINISTRY
Every year our parish hosts a Ladies Weekend Retreat for approximately 150 women. This retreat is open to all parishes and while it is a Catholic event, other denominations are welcome to attend.
While the theme and topics for the retreat vary every year, the purpose is to create an opportunity for Catholic Christian Women to spend a weekend away from the hustle & bustle of their daily lives, to sit at the Lord’s feet, be refreshed and renewed in their faith, be strengthened to face life’s challenges and to connect with others on the same journey. We are a committee of about twelve ladies, who are involved in the planning and facilitation of this retreat. There is much to be done in organising such an event and we always welcome extra helping hands and committed hearts to serve the Lord in this special ministry. There are various areas to get involved, e.g.: spiritual input, prayer warriors, fundraising, marketing, admin and logistics, décor and gift bags, baking tea time treats, donations, etc. The blessing of being involved in this ministry is having our own faith strengthened as we see God at work in our planning efforts and in people’s lives.
