COME ENCOUNTER CHRIST - Weekend Retreat May 15 to 17, 2026

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer to the deepest desires of the human heart. This retreat offers a unique encounter with the person and the presence of Jesus Christ through the ardent proclamation of the gospel message.

Following the call of Pope Francis, Mary of God Parish is resolved to undergo a missionary conversion such that every person, through personal encounter with Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit, is formed and sent forth as a joyful missionary disciple. This event will be held at Mary of God Parish Nativity Hall.

Limited Seating

The registration fee for the retreat is $45 and includes meals, snacks and materials. Lunch will be provided on Saturday and Sunday. Once you register, you will be able to send payment by e-transfer to [email protected]

“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.”

Pope Benedict

“The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.”

Pope Francis
