This retreat is for all priests, nuns, brothers, and lay ministers who follow the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales.

AN INVITATION TO JOYFUL OPTIMISM

The focus of this retreat is on living a joyful and optimistic life, the spirit of St. Francis de Sales, in a church burdened with clergy scandals, abuse of minors, poor leadership, spiritual bankruptcy and other similar and painful concerns, issues and situations.

Join us as we strive to help those we serve see the world as a blessing, a gift of God, that is full of opportunities and possibilities.
