For Adults

Christian Experience Weekend (CEW)

The Christian Experience Weekend is a spiritual retreat that offers an opportunity to take a break from the demands of everyday life and look at who we are and where we are going. It is an opportunity to rediscover oneself, your faith, and connection with God. The weekend includes talks, small group discussion, private reflection, liturgy and plenty of time for fellowship. It is conducted by a team of lay people, a priest and spiritual director. It’s a weekend to listen, pray, learn, relax and be refreshed. The weekend welcomes everyone regardless of where they are in their
spiritual lives. Many people attend because they would like to improve their relationship with Christ and others to spend time in reflection.
