Rejoice. Pray. Give Thanks.

A Weekend Parish Retreat | November 14–15, 2026

Noticing God everyday

Rejoice. Pray. Give Thanks.

What if prayer isn't one more thing to do?

What if it is a way of noticing that God is already present?

Life moves quickly. Our attention becomes scattered.

This year, we are invited to slow down, pray together, rediscover joy, and practice gratitude. 

Whether prayer has been part of your life for years or you're simply wondering where to begin, there is room for you here.

Pray
