Women and men discerning a call to religious life are invited to “Called, Chosen and Gifted: An Intercongregational Retreat for Women and Men Exploring Religious Life,” held at the Mother Boniface Spirituality Center in Northeast Philadelphia. The retreat begins Friday, April 10 and continues through Saturday evening, April 11, concluding around 8:00 p.m. following Mass. Participants may also extend their stay through Sunday morning.

The program offers time for prayer, conversation, and exploration of one’s baptismal call, personal vocation, and the rich diversity of religious charisms. The retreat is facilitated by vocation ministers from several women’s and men’s religious communities across the greater Philadelphia region and is sponsored by the NRVC Delaware Valley Member Area through a grant from the Ambassador’s Fund.

Accommodations and meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast are provided at no additional cost beyond the $25 registration fee.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required by noon on Friday, March 27.
