Retreats and Programs

As Sisters of the Cenacle, we draw our inspiration from Mary, the Mother of Jesus, surrendering herself to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the first Cenacle (Acts 1:14). Since our founding a principle part of our mission has been one of providing space (literal and now virtual) for people to gather, to pray, and we hope, to be inspired by the Spirit just like Mary at the first Cenacle. We believe that the assorted retreats, programs, and other events illustrated below will encourage your faith formation, spiritual sustenance, or dialogue with the Divine.
