Welcome is a two-day renewal weekend at our parish. (Men and women attend separate weekends.) It is an experience that helps parishioners discover what is missing in their lives and what to do about it. Most people want to work this out but have no idea how to do it or even where to start. Welcome puts a framework around the questions and struggles we all have so that every day, in every way, we can become a better version of ourselves.

"I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived the first day of the Welcome Retreat. I had not been to a retreat in many years.
I was reluctant at first. By the end of the first day, I was so filled with the Holy Spirit. It was amazing! I felt at peace!"

Welcome Retreats have been held at St Francis of Assisi for many years. Our retreats are based on a program from Dynamic Catholic called Welcome (formerly known as CRHP). The retreat provides a time where you can encounter Our Lord in an atmosphere of peacefulness and privacy. It will enrich your life and your love of Christ. You will meet other men and women from our parish and have the opportunity to make long-lasting relationships with them.
You may register now for both the Men's and Women's Welcome Retreats at our parish. We recommend registering as soon as possible since we have limited space. We will confirm your attendance when we receive your registration. Once we have reached 35 registrants, we will add you to our waitlist, which often clears closer to the retreat date.
