This retreat is intended to provide growth for the people who already said their "yes" to Domestic Church. This is a family retreat and will be run like a mini Oasis Retreat. The goals of this 4 day retreat: Learn how to be better animators of your family and circle and how to be better servant leaders in your family and circle. Main themes include: the call of discipleship, the call to holiness in marriage, developing the virtues of servant leadership as parents and learning how they apply to the role of the animator of the circle. Couple’s will also study the DC Rules and Bylaws to deepen their understanding of the charisms and methods of the movement. The fruit of this retreat is UNITY in your family and circle. This four day retreat does not take the place of an 8(America) to 15(Poland) day Oasis Retreat. This is meant to be a mini Oasis with your family that will fulfill the retreat commitment.
