[The annual WITS Retreat is not a Prince of Peace-sponsored event]
GENERAL INFORMATION:
This retreat is scheduled for February 5 - 7, 2016 at Kaiserhof Retreat Center located about 10 miles from Prince of Peace. This annual WITS Retreat is not a Prince of Peace-sponsored event. The 3-day, 2-night retreat is presented by women for women at Prince of Peace.* The retreat’s goals are to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ, renew us spiritually through silence & reflection, give new meaning to our prayer life & Sunday Liturgy, and build lasting friendships with members of our parish and faith community.
*NON-PARISHIONERS are welcome to register for the WITS Retreat. Your name will be put on the waiting list in the order received. We will use this list to fill any open spots remaining after registration is opened up to any woman wishing to come (3 weeks prior to retreat --January 18, 2016). Your deposit (or any monies submitted at the time of registration) will be held and returned if there are no openings.
The cost per retreatant is $170.00. Registration will be on a first come first serve basis, with a waiting list thereafter. In order to reserve your place, a non-refundable deposit of $45.00 must be submitted with the registration form. Remaining balance is due on January 18, 2016. Please note that if full payment is not received by January 22, 2016 by 8:00 pm, your reservation will be canceled and made available to the next person on the waiting list.
Please note that financial difficulties should not prevent anyone from attending the retreat. Financial assistance is available by checking the appropriate line on the registration form.
