A Joyful Spirit Retreat for Girls at Annunciation Monastery

Girls ages 8 to 14 are invited to a unique, fun-filled "A Joyful Spirit" retreat on Friday, July 29, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Annunciation Monastery.

Participants will have a unique opportunity to pray with the sisters, make new friends, enjoy faith-based games, crafts and storytelling. The day wraps up with the tradition of making s’mores on the monastery balcony.

“What makes this camp most special is that we try to help the girls recognize how God is a part of everything they do, whether it’s praying, playing, creating or socializing,” explains Sister Hannah Vanorny, director of vocation ministry. “The awareness of God’s faithful presence is something they can carry with them into the future as they make important decisions about their lives and relationships.”

There is no cost to attend, however pre-registration is required. The day includes craft supplies, snacks and lunch.
