Vocation Discernment Retreat for Young Women

"Are you capable of risking your life for someone? Do it for Christ!"
–Pope John Paul II

"Thanks be to God, He still raises up apostles to witness to His name and mission in the present day. I bless Miles Jesu."
–Pope John Paul II

Is the Holy Spirit tugging at your soul? Then you need to make a Vocation Discernment Retreat!

Many young people do not know what to do or where to turn when they hear God's call. They may be on fire for the Lord, but get smothered by the world.

If we spend time alone with someone for a few days, we get to know them very well. What makes our Lord any different? If we spend a few days alone with Him, away from the noise of the world, He will most certainly open our hearts and our minds to our purpose in life, to His will. He will help give us a clearer picture of what He wants from us and where to be. He will help us make better decisions and choices, ones that fill our hearts with His love and peace.
