Cedarbrake Retreats

Cedarbrake Retreat | This retreat is based on St. John Paul II's Apostolic Letter "On the Dignity and Vocation of Women," which offers insight into the necessary gift of womanhood and the fruit of our feminine holiness. The gift of this Love Letter can open your eyes to the unique nature of womanhood and the necessity of our gift as woman, wife, mother and consecrated religious, in a delightfully unexpected way. The retreat will be led by Teri Lucas, who is a spiritual director, wife, author and parishioner at St. Patrick's in Hutto. The cost is $50 and includes lunch.

Cedarbrake Retreat | Healing Hearts is a gentle and reflective day retreat for those seeking to move through life’s events with grace, clarity, and purpose. Led by author Gabby Ring, a parishioner at St. Faustina’s in Houston, this day offers sacred space to explore how life’s hardest moments can become turning points for healing and transformation. This retreat is for anyone who has felt stuck in their pain, unsure how to move forward, or simply ready to begin again with God’s grace.

Cedarbrake Retreat | Coping with working grief takes work and courage. Retreatants will identify and reflect on their personal grief symptoms followed by a ritual to help ease the pain of grief and increase positive emotions. There will be opportunities to share with others who are also trying to navigate grief in a healthy way. The retreat will end with a celebration of life and the presentation of memories. Fr. Harry Dean, and spiritual directors Clyde Gottschalk and Judy Hoelscher will lead this retreat.
