Come and See Weekend!
The Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara are hosting an upcoming Come and See Retreat in Washington, DC. The retreat will be held April 12th- 14th and is open to women ages 18-35 who are discerning the Will of God for their lives. This retreat will be an opportunity for deeper prayer, informational talks about religious life and about our particular Institute, as well as the chance to share in the daily activities and apostolates of the sisters.
As St. John Paul II reminds us, “In the hidden recesses of the human heart the grace of a vocation takes the form of a dialogue. It is a dialogue between Christ and an individual, in which a personal invitation is given. Christ calls the person by name and says: "Come, follow me.”’
Women can register for the retreat online by clicking on the Come and See tab at: www.ssvmusa.org.
