Now is your chance to experience convent life:

See what motivates the Sisters;
Pray and reflect about your future;
Get your questions answered.

 
The harvest is great, and the laborers too few, and so many souls are being lost.

Jesus calls many to follow Him, the world and its pleasures drown out His voice, and few even consider it.

Are you afraid?

Do you think religious life is sad and lonely? Ah, if you only knew what treasures He gives to those who give Him all, and what happiness they experience both in this life and in the next. Now is your chance to meet young women who, like you, were once fearful and full of doubt — but are no longer...

Won’t you at least consider the possibility? Souls may be hanging in the balance over your choice. This may be the most important decision of your entire life.

Give Our Lord a chance...

There are no fees, and the Sisters will take care of your meals, lodging and transportation to and from the airport.

Those who will be traveling to Spokane from other locations are encouraged to come a day early (Thursday). We will provide your meals and lodging for the extra time, as well as activities to keep you occupied until the Vocations Weekend begins on Friday afternoon.

WHAT TIME DOES THE RETREAT BEGIN AND END?

This event begins about 3:30 on Friday afternoon, when the young ladies are given the keys to their rooms and have some time to get settled. Then one of the Sisters gives an orientation talk to give the girls an idea of what to expect over the weekend.

The retreat usually ends about noon on Sunday.
