Retreats

Annual Life Directions Retreat Weekend

Life Directions Retreat - A weekend for Single Catholics, ages 18-45, is held in the fall each year at the Schoenstatt Retreat Center in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Vocation Ministers of the religious groups of the Milwaukee Archdiocese are on hand to provide answers to your questions and share stories about their calling. You will have the opportunity to share with others who are also discerning God's call. Enjoy panel discussions, presentations, break-out groups, prayer and quiet reflection on God's invitation.

Meals and accommodations are provided for by the Serra Clubs of the Milwaukee Archdiocese at no cost to you.

Life Directions Weekend is free of any pressure of commitment. It is an experience designed to enable you to make an informed vocation choice - whatever and whenever that may be.

For more information contact Father Jim Lobacz, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee at vocations@sfs.edu
