DIVINE MERCY & SACRED HEART RETREAT
-
SATURDAY - APRIL 11, 2026 from 9:30am – 3:00pm | Reservations are necessary. |Click to Register
​
​
On this Eve of DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY, we will prayerfully look at the relationship of JESUS' DIVINE MERCY and the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE of HIS SACRED HEART, that are one and the same in and because of the INCARNATION & the EUCHARIST. In both devotions, God, as He is revealed in both the new & old testaments, is the loving & merciful Father. But the good news, revealed through Jesus Christ in the New Testament, is that God’s love for each person knows no bounds, and no sin or infidelity, no matter how horrible, will separate us from God and His love when we turn to Him in confidence, and seek His mercy. GOD’S WILL IS OUR SALVATION. He has done all on our behalf, but since He made us free, He invites us to choose Him and partake of His divine life. We become partakers of His divine life when we believe in His revealed truth and trust Him, when we love Him and remain true to His word, when we honor Him and seek His Kingdom, when we receive Him in Communion and turn away from sin; when we are mutually caring and forgiving.

MARRIED COUPLES RETREAT DAY - THE HOLINESS OF MARRIAGE AS A SACRAMENT
-
Saturday, April 25, 2026⋅9:30 AM – 3:00 PM
Reservations are necessary. |Click to Register
​
Theme for this Retreat- THE HOLINESS OF MARRIAGE AS A SACRAMENT
In the Catholic Church, the Sacrament of Marriage (Holy Matrimony) is a lifelong, public covenant between a man and a woman that signifies the unbreakable, faithful love between Christ and the Church. It is seen as a calling from God to a specific vocation, and the couple themselves becomes a Sacrament or Sign, a visible sign of God’s love for the world. Through this Sacrament, couples receive special grace to support their lifelong commitment to each other, to the procreation and education of children, and to a journey of holiness together. During this retreat day we will explore such questions as- What is real Human Love? What is Divine Love really? How far will both “Loves” go for the “Beloved”? How do these “Loves” come together in the Incarnation? Why does all this actually matter to our marriage?

Open Retreat Day-Divine Mercy and the Unconditional Love of the Sacred Heart

As we begin the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is Friday, June 12, 2026) during this Retreat Day, we will prayerfully look at the relationship of JESUS' DIVINE MERCY and the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE of HIS SACRED HEART, that are one and the same in and because of the INCARNATION & the EUCHARIST. In both devotions, God, as He is revealed in both the new & old testaments, is the loving & merciful Father.
