BARABOO — From Friday, Dec. 18, through Saturday afternoon, Dec. 19, the Servants of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Vigil for Life will be hosting the eighth annual Respect Life Retreat.
This special Advent retreat will be held once again in the beautiful retreat center of Durward‘s Glen W11876 McLeisch Rd., Baraboo.
The retreat master will be Fr. Gregory Ihm, director of vocations for the Diocese of Madison.The event will offer Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, the Liturgy of the Hours, silent prayer, and time for personal reflection.
Those who are involved in work to build a culture of life are invited to attend, but the retreat is open to everyone.
The relic image of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be in the chapel at Durward’s Glen during the retreat. It is one of 220 exact size replicas of Our Lady of Guadalupe that were touched to the sacred original tilma of St. Juan Diego. These images are authorized relics that will extend the graces of evangelization, conversion, and truth — the same graces as extended in 1531 by Our Lady of Guadalupe in her appearances to St. Juan Diego.
There are still spaces for the Respect Life Retreat available. The cost per person is $65. (Financial assistance may be made available for those in need).
