A Spiritual Retreat for Parents Who Have Experienced
the Death of a Child of Any Age, By Any Cause,
No Matter How Long Ago

Losing a child under any circumstance is horrific.
Focusing on the spirituality of the grieving process can help tremendously.
Just as He comforted his grieving disciples on the road to Emmaus,
Jesus comforts us and we comfort each other in this very special ministry.

Join Fr. John Powers and our St. John the Baptist Retreat Team
in a warm and loving place
to think, to talk, to feel, and to pray.
Find compassion, rest, and peace… at least for a time.

Retreat Spiritual Leader:  Fr. John Powers

Come to this retreat to give yourself the gift of time
to focus on your own individual spiritual journey,
to focus on questions, such as…
Where is God in my pain…Where is my child now…
How can my faith help me through this horrible, new reality of life without my child?

All Are Welcome!
