Led by:  Fr. Jim Harbaugh S.J. and Dr. Mary Cross, Ph.D.

The Eleventh Step, in both A.A. and Al-Anon, reads, “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” This retreat is a wonderful opportunity to work on this step. This will be a faith sharing retreat with large group presentations, small group discussions, communal prayer, and time for individual prayer and contemplation. There will be ample opportunity to take advantage of the Palisades setting to enjoy the beauty of nature.
