Villa Maria del Mar of Santa Cruz invites you to join them for a spiritual pilgrimage.
🔸
All of us carry touchstone moments that have defined us as people of faith. Over these past three years of constant change and instability, it's been difficult to recognize the God we once knew. Through the lens of Ignatian Spirituality, this spiritual pilgrimage will give us an opportunity to glimpse a God who gently tells us, "I'm here. Trust me. I love you."
🔸
We will experience this pilgrimage together through meditation, conversation, liturgy, presentations, personal prayer and rest. Fr. Radmar Jao, S.J and Teresa Nygard will be our presenters.
🔸
Retreat begins at 4:00pm Monday, July 24th; registration is 2:00-3:00pm. Retreat ends with lunch on Sunday, July 30th.
COST: $750 Register online at
