You are invited to join…
A MISSION DISCERNMENT RETREAT
with men and women, individuals, couples and families
contemplating a call to overseas mission service
When: Holy Thursday, March 24th at 3pm to
Easter Sunday, March 27th at 10am
Where: Maryknoll Campus – Ossining, New York
If you are contemplating a commitment to overseas service, please consider joining us for a Holy
Week Mission Discernment Retreat with the Maryknoll Lay Missioners, Maryknoll Fathers and
Maryknoll Sisters!
The Holy Week Mission Discernment Retreat is an opportunity to reflect on one’s call to
mission, to learn more about what a commitment to overseas service entails and to consider
whether this might be the next step in your own mission journey. Retreatants will meet current
and returned Maryknoll missioners; listen to mission stories from those who have worked in
Asia, Africa, or Latin America; and engage in discussion and sharing. There will be Holy Week
liturgies, Stations of the Cross, and Easter Vigil celebrations. There will be time to socialize and
also time for individual reflection. Retreatants will receive one-on-one guidance from
Maryknoll mentors and will also learn about the admission requirements and process.
Food and lodging will be provided at the Maryknoll Sisters. All retreatants will have individual
rooms.
Space is limited and registrations will be made on a first come, first served basis. The
registration form for the event follows. Please complete the form and return it by Friday,
March 11th. Once you have sent in your registration form, we will contact you to confirm your
registration.
