RETREAT MINISTRY We believe, as faith-filled members of The Body of Christ, that we are on a journey. Though each one of us is at a different point on that journey, all of us need to set aside a time and place to reflect on our relationship with God and others. This ministry will provide several separate one-day retreats each year for adult parishioners on our campus, modeled after the successful OLL Youth retreats. We anticipate that each retreat would be customized toward a specific audience: men, women, young, retired, married, single, etc.
