Sr. Ignatia AA Women's Recovery Retreat
2022-03-26 08:00 - 2022-03-27 11:30 | Jesuit Retreat House, 5629 State Road, Parma, OH, 44134, United States
The Wisdom to Know the Difference: Sharing Our Experience, Hope, & Strength Presented by Karen S., Sue M., Jo Ann P., Marybeth S., Diane G., & Jane C.
Springtime is coming and after canceling for two years due to COVID, we are thrilled for the opportunity to gather for the Spring Sr. Ignatia Women’s AA Weekend Retreat. This year we take a deep dive into the third line of our beloved Serenity Prayer: The Wisdom to Know the Difference.
When opportunities arise and we are uncertain with a decision that needs to be made, we may seek guidance and serenity from our HP. It is our choice to surrender and accept, have the courage to change and the wisdom to know the difference on what is God’s will for us. The Serenity Prayer is a powerful spiritual tool that many of us rely upon in our daily life. We have created a dynamic retreat through presentations, group discussions, prayer, meditation, music, and fellowship. Our goal is that everyone leaves the weekend inspired with a full heart, new / renewed insights and a genuine connection to our higher power and each other. Meals are included.
Registration: $150
Financial aid is available through the JRC Arrupe Fund. Email Ken Fortuna at for more information.
