Living the Spirituality of Mary
With Maureen O'Brien
May 16 - 18, 2025
This weekend retreat will deepen our connection to the Blessed Mother, receiving her love as we contemplate the way her visual and holy presence fills the island and leads us to her Son. We will consider scripture (the Magnificat, the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Passion) as we encounter her here in this May abundance. Pondering her names in this setting–Mystical Rose, Star of the Sea– we will discover fresh pathways to her in our hearts.
Sessions will allow for connection and sharing, the Mysteries of the Rosary, journaling, contemplative movement around the island with Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes, the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Check-In Friday 4:30 PM, the weekend will conclude on Sunday at 11:00 AM
