This coming winter, St. Ignatius will be offering a women’s retreat at the Sacred Hearts Retreat
Center in Wareham. Women of all ages are invited to a weekend away from 3pm on Friday,
February 20 through lunch on Sunday, February 22, 2009. Unlike the parish retreats, this retreat will
not be silent, and will feature opportunities to relax, rest, pray, and talk with other women about
life’s experiences. The cost of the weekend is $145 per participant and includes lodging and all
meals.
To register for this retreat, please email Amy Chapman at chapmaab@bc.edu or call
617.552.6103. A deposit of $50 is required.
