Men’s Cornerstone Retreat 2025
Friday, February 28th 2025 at 6PM to Saturday, March 1st 2025 at 8PM
Cornerstone is a wonderful 2-day retreat experience, a time to revitalize your relationship with God, renew your own spirit and grow in fellowship with other men or women of our parish through a combination of quiet reflection and prayer, fellowship and the sharing of one’s faith journey with others. Please consider joining us!
On Cornerstone Weekend, you will spend time in a relaxed atmosphere with other men of faith from the community. During the weekend, some of our Cornerstone Team Members will give talks followed by time for discussion and sharing your own journey. It’s a very casual atmosphere and you may share in the discussion as much or as little as you like. Cornerstone is a great opportunity to examine your relationship with God, your family, and others in your life. Most of all, it’s an opportunity to be inspired, revitalized and spiritually uplifted. Take a step in faith and join us!
Cornerstone is open to men of all ages. In anticipation of a large response and limited space, please register early by clicking the link below:

Families of Faith Lenten Gathering
Sunday March 23, 2025
Stations in Chapel, Refreshments in Basement, 10:00 am Mass
Alpha is a place to connect with other people who are open to exploring life, faith, and meaning. Each session includes a time to connect with others (often over a free meal), hear a short talk on an element of the Christian faith, and then a chance for each person to share their own questions with the group. We’d love to hear your perspective!
The Alpha Experience will be 3 live in-person events throughout the entire series, but the majority of the program will be hosted on Zoom. So, you'll be able to enjoy the series at the comfort of your own home!
