The Power of a Praying Mother
A 24-hour retreat for women focused on Marian Devotion and also on the lives of the Saints that were mothers and the influence that their prayers had.
Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House offers a sanctuary of prayer and recollection on a spacious acreage near Waverly. There are 50 single rooms, each with a private bath. Retreats typically begin with a Rosary and Mass at 8 p.m. Friday, and end with Sunday Mass and lunch.
We want our retreats to be accessible to everyone, please consider an additional donation, or contact the Retreat House to inquire about financial assistance or if your parish pays part of the cost. If the retreat you’re interested in is full, contact us to be put on a waiting list. A few double rooms are available upon request. Airport transportation to/from LNK or OMA is also available upon request.
In-person at the Retreat House or at-home, live stream and on demand recordings. In-person retreats include meditations by the retreat master, the sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation, the Liturgy of the Hours and other devotions, extended opportunities for silence and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
(Due to the nature of in-person activities and exercises following each talk, there is no online option for this retreat.)
