Invitational Weekend Retreat
A Wonderful and Generous Exchange
December 11-13, 2026
Community of Jesus
Orleans, MA
Mustering up the faith and energy to serve God each day can be exhausting and, eventually, self-defeating. But God does not expect us to live that way. On this retreat, during the season of Advent, we will explore the meaning of a wonderful and mysterious exchange—God gives his own life to us; we give our lives to him; and he gives us back even more. If you have any questions, please Email: [email protected] or Call: 508-255-1094 x3501
