Upcoming retreats to be held on July 20 and August 25 in the idyllic surrounds of the Schoenstatt shrine just outside Armadale will offer women aged 17-30 a unique opportunity to seek life’s purpose.
The most recent Grace and Silence retreat day was held at the Shrine for single young women on Sunday June 30.
So far, 19 women have participated in the event since it began in May.
The days offer single young women the relatively rare opportunity to immerse themselves in prayerful silence to contemplate their life’s vocation; the retreats are proving to be a positive experience for those who attend.
Grace and Silence organisers are delighted with the echoes which the participants have shared with them.
“I didn’t realise how much I needed it until I was there.
It really helped me clarify a few things in my mind and to make a few decisions regarding my vocation and what I need to do to fulfil it,” wrote one participant.
Two final retreat days are scheduled for 9.30am-4.30pm on July 20 and August 25.
The retreats cost $20 including lunch and refreshments. Registration is essential and places are limited.
