What can we expect from the retreat?

Joelma will contact you for a brief Zoom call beforehand to discuss.

 

How much does the retreat cost?

During this program we’ll be practicing the Evangelical Councils* as consecrated persons do when they live in community so we will practice communion of goods*, each person will give what she can, and we will trust in God’s providence.

*Evangelical Councils: chastity, poverty (or perfect charity), and obedience
*Witness to mutual love through the communion of goods 

(Cf. Acts 4:32).

 “This was the experience of the first Christians in Jerusalem: ‘Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common’ (Acts 4:32). A sharing or communion of goods was not obligatory, and yet they practiced it intensely. As the apostle Paul explained, it is ‘not that others should have relief while you are burdened, but it is (…) a matter of equality’ (cf. 2 Cor 8:13).”
