About the retreat

Beloved is a weekend retreat for young women (college-aged and young professionals), designed to deepen your understanding of relationships—from friendship and family to romantic love and your relationship with Christ. Through prayer, engaging talks, the sacraments, and genuine community, this retreat is a space to grow both humanly and spiritually.

Whether you are just beginning your faith journey or already on it, this retreat offers a chance to pause, reflect, and be renewed.
