Dear Brother Priests, Deacons, Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women, and Lay Faithful:
We are pleased to invite the women in our parishes to our First Annual Flourish Women’s Retreat hosted by the Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center in collaboration with the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light and the Eparchy’s Family & Sanctity of Life Office.
The Keynote Speaker for this year is Johnnette Benkovic Williams (Host & Founder of Women of Grace on EWTN). In her three talks, Johnnette will unpack the unique purpose and role of women and help them 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 includes all the meals during the retreat. The accommodations will be separate and the women attending will need to contact Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh West-Greentree at 412-922-7070 to reserve one of the rooms blocked for the retreat. The hotel discount rate is $149 per night and includes full breakfast. The name of the room block is “Saint Sharbel Center.” The deadline to reserve a room is March 26, 2025. Transportation will be their own responsibility.
Please share the attached flyer and announcement with your parishioners and especially with our new Women of Grace groups that have formed and started to meet in our parishes. I'm so very grateful for this beautiful ministry and the women who are now committed to the Women of Grace Foundational Study Series.
For any questions regarding the Retreat contact Mr. Paul Kengor, Program Coordinator, at the Center: pkengor@saintsharbelcenter.org.
