The Church of St. Francis of Assisi is again offering a WINTER RETREAT FOR MINISTERS, VOLUNTEERS & PARISHIONERS.
Step away from the busy-ness of life and find renewal in God’s presence. Join us for our parish retreat—a time to rest, reflect, and reconnect in faith.
This retreat is a chance for parishioners to escape the city for a couple of days to connect with one another and reconnect with God. There will be time to pray, hear talks, discuss the faith, and enjoy quiet time on the beautiful property of the Mt. Alvernia Franciscan Retreat Center in Wappingers Falls, NY.
Join us to spend time with other parishioners to pray, reflect and reconnect with God and each other.
