Called to Hope: Catholic Social Teaching & The Environment

Retreat participants attending this program will have a one-of-a-kind interactive experience led by Sister Caroljean Willie. Through a combination of engaging presentations with up-to-date information, music, art, poetry, and contemplative silence, attendees will be guided through an overview of what the Catholic Church teaches about caring for all of creation and experience an invitation into the Earth’s call for transformation and healing. Participants can choose between the overnight retreat or a commuter retreat.
