Join committed members of our St. Francis of Assisi Community for a weekend away at the beautiful Loyola Jesuit Center in Morristown, New Jersey. This is a great opportunity to get away to refresh your spirit with a weekend full of prayer, reflections, and sharing of our faith. And it is a great way to get to know others in your church community better.
The weekend is structured around the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours: Night prayer on Friday, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer on Saturday, and Morning Prayer and Mass on Sunday. Between the times of prayer are 5 reflections on different aspects of our faith and we leave free time for individual reflection and prayer as well as time on Saturday evening for a social.
The weekend costs $225.00 which includes everything but your transportation to Morristown. (NJ transit goes directly from Penn Station to Morristown)
Sign up will open immediately after the Holidays. Space is limited to only 35 people.
