A Catholic Parenting Retreat: Cultivating a Healthy and Holy Family

The Marriage and Family Life Office of the Diocese of Boise welcomes Kim Cameron-Smith as the facilitator of this parenting retreat.

The titles of her reflections during the retreat are:

• Catholic Parenting as a Sacred Vocation
• Growing Your Discipleship Home
• Managing Weeds and Thorns

After each reflection there will be time for small group discussion and interaction with other retreatants.

This commuter retreat will begin the evening of Friday, April 26, from 6:30 - 9 p.m., and will resume Saturday morning beginning with Mass at 8 a.m. and continuing through 2 p.m. The retreat will be held in the Religious Education Classroom at St. Mark's in Boise.

The cost of $40 per couple or $25 per person includes Friday evening refreshments and a light breakfast and boxed lunch on Saturday.

Kim Cameron-Smith describes herself as "an on-fire Catholic revert, bibliophile, armchair philosopher, mediocre cook, and 'an artist of family life.'"

Kim is the author of Rooting Your Teen in the Faith: A Field Guide for Catholic Parents and Discipleship Parenting: Planting Seeds of Faith. She hosts the Gentle Catholic Parenting podcast and blogs at Intentional Catholic Parenting. Her writing has been featured in "The Imaginative Conservative" and the "Our Sunday Visitor Newsweekly."

Space is limited and scholarships are available for those needing financial assistance to attend. Contact Trish Campaña at 208-350-7555 or [email protected] if you have any questions.
