ICC Women’s Retreat

 January 28-30, 2022

Retreat Registration Form Available ​

Awakening the Prophet Within​
Biblical prophets always appeared during volatile and uncertain times,  seeing beyond what was to what could be through their insight into God’s movement in the midst of chaos.
 
Like generations before us, God’s people today are in need of prophets.  As we emerge from a crippling pandemic that has exposed deep cracks in existing systems, we have an opportunity to awaken our own prophetic voice, given to us as part of our baptismal call to be “priest, prophet, and royalty,” to help move our world toward a better future.
 
During this retreat, we’ll:
· Explore what it means to be a prophet
· Discover the sometimes surprising ways in which women of today and times past have brought God’s truth and comfort to a world in turmoil
· Seek to uncover the gifts of our own unique prophetic call

WHEN is the retreat?
January 28-30, 2022
  • Jan 28 Check-in 3:00-4:00 pm (If you are unable to check in before 9 pm, please wait and come on Saturday morning.)
  • It takes approximately 1 1/2 hours from Immaculate Conception to reach the retreat center.
  • Jan 30  Retreat ends at 1 pm
 
WHERE is the retreat?
St Francis Springs Prayer Center is located in Stoneville, NC, north of Greensboro.  It  is located on 140 acres of  beautiful and peaceful wooded property that offers a natural setting for prayer, reflection, and meditation.

WHAT can I expect?
  • Scripture sessions in which we will break open the Word to discover God’s  timeless truths
  • Opportunities to express your spirituality through prayer, music, crafting, and other activities
  • A chance to relax and renew in beautiful surroundings, yoga, massage, or simply time alone
  • The company of a wonderful, faith-filled community of women

HOW do I get there?
Transportation is on your own.  In previous years, the team encouraged carpooling and paired drivers with participants needing a ride. This year, due to COVID-19 concerns, participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation. 

ABOUT our facilitator:
Jude Siciliano, OP, belongs to the Dominican Order of Preachers and is the prior of St. Albert the Great Priory in Irving, Texas. He preaches and directs retreats across the country. Jude has lived in community with both women and men, has listened particularly to the struggles of women and is committed to bringing to light the experiences of women in the Church. We are truly blessed to have Fr. Jude with us once again on this retreat.
