Men’s Retreat: “Man’s Vocation Priest Prophet and King”
On the weekend of February 8-10, 2019 join men from around the Archdiocese of Washington for a retreat directed by Fr. Dave Wells and Fr. Rick Kramer, who will lead talks on keys for men to live their vocation as Priests, Prophets and Kings. They will celebrate Mass and offer opportunities for Confession and to spend quiet time with our Lord in Adoration. A retreat is a time away to reconnect and recharge the most important relationship in your life - your relationship with the Lord. The Men’s Retreat will be held at Priest field Pastoral Center in Kearneysville, WV. It is a short drive from the Washington D.C. area and provides space for quiet reflection away from all the distractions.
The cost of the retreat is $235 for the weekend, covering a double occupancy room (two double beds and a private bath) and meals including dinner Friday night; breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday; and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.
