Beloved Retreat
Did you get what you wanted from this life?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself Beloved, To feel myself Beloved, On Earth.By Raymond Carver
The Beloved Retreat Experience
You Are Invited to a weekend of beginnings at the Beloved Retreat Experience. Whether you're old or young (at heart), single or married, religious or skeptic, hurt or healing, laid back or caffeinated, you'll fit right into our Beloved Retreat. Founded in 1999, the Beloved Retreat offers you a community within Old St. Pat’s and our Catholic Church. Our hope is that, together, we can rediscover what often eludes us, but what God wants us to know: that we are Beloved. We offer a safe, open and inclusive environment in a quiet, pastoral setting where you can explore your relationship with God and yourself. Following the retreat, you'll have opportunities to stay in touch through Legacy dinners, our Afternoon of Reflection, annual summertime picnic and more – to help us stay connected and to deepen our roots as a community of believers.
