Oasis Retreat for Family Animators (ORFA II). This is a four day family retreat with Diakonia provided by Domestic Church volunteers. Check in Wednesday evening (no dinner). Check out on 10:00 Sunday.

This retreat is a formal introduction to the charism and commitments of the Domestic Church, but it is also an excellent stand alone couples retreat. What began in Poland fifty years ago with the guidance and support of St. John Paul II is now available for English speaking couples here in the U.S.! True holiness is possible in the midst of the daily demands of marriage and parenthood, but it can be challenging to live our vocation to its fullest without the example and support of like-minded couples.  Domestic Church gives couples and families real, concrete help for tapping into what God has in store for us in the blessed vocation of marriage. This Couple Retreat features conferences by Fr. Codd and Fr. Matlak, guidance on couple prayer, Adoration, and guided time for reflection together with your spouse.

Evangelization is the first step of any real faith journey. We must experience the reality of who Christ is, who we are, and what His love for us is capable of doing before we can make any real progress. And, since Domestic Church provides for this journey to be undertaken in union with our spouses, we must experience Christ anew, together, before we can begin to grow together toward sainthood. Come, receive the Good News, and stir up the grace of your Sacrament! Sacramentally married couples interested in joining Domestic Church typically do so by attending an Evangelization Retreat as an introduction to formation.

The Evangelization Retreat provides sacramentally married couples with an opportunity to begin their spiritual journey together (or deepen it if it already exists). The retreat serves as the introduction to Domestic Church for those interested in beginning formation in a Domestic Church circle. However, the retreat can fruitfully be attended by any sacramentally married couple. The retreat includes daily Mass, talks, and time for couples to encounter the Lord together.
