Dear Brother Priests, Deacons, Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women, and Lay Faithful:
We invite the women in our Eparchy to our first Annual Flourish Women’s Retreat hosted at the Saint Sharbel Center on April 25-26.
The Keynote Speaker for this year is Johnnette Benkovic Williams (host of Women of Grace on EWTN & Founder & President of Women of Grace). Johnnette will unpack the unique purpose and role of women and teach them how to employ the gifts of their femininity in the way Our Blessed Mother Mary modeled for us.
The cost of the two-day Retreat is $135 and this does not include the hotel. For accommodations, contact Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh West-Greentree at 412-922-7070 to reserve one of the rooms blocked for the retreat. The discount rate is $149 per night and includes full breakfast. The name of the room block is “Saint Sharbel Center.”
For any questions contact Paul Kengor, Program Coordinator pkengor@saintsharbelcenter.org.
