Faith and Sharing Retreat returns May 18–21 at Marywood Retreat Center, offering a unique opportunity for spiritual renewal and community. The retreat began in 1982 through the efforts of Bishop John J. Snyder and Sister of St. Joseph Rita Baum, and has been held annually except during the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Open to men and women, married and single adults, clergy and religious, the retreat also warmly welcomes people with disabilities, whose presence enriches the experience for all. Each day includes Mass, small-group sharing, talks, crafts, swimming and time for private prayer, along with opportunities to build friendships that often last well beyond the retreat.

Bishop Erik Pohlmeier will celebrate the opening Mass and Bishop Emeritus Felipe Estévez the closing Mass. Mother of the Redeemer Father Bernie Tan Dang will serve as chaplain.

Applications are due April 15. For information or an application, contact Sister Rita Baum at rbaumssj@yahoo.com or call or text (904) 826-7365.
