Friday, February 28, 6PM to Saturday, March 1, 8PM
WHAT IS CORNERSTONE?
Cornerstone is a 26-hour retreat - an "experience that you have to experience" (Fr. John Barry). It is a spiritual movement within the Catholic Church that provides the opportunity to reflect, renew and strengthen your faith while meeting other women in our parish community. Cornerstone is simple, yet profound. Since it's inception, hundreds of women have enjoyed the experience at more than 50 parishes across the United States. In 2006, American Martyrs introduced Cornerstone and the retreat has expanded to several parishes in Southern California. Women's Cornerstone was introduced at Visitation in 2018 by a group of parishioners who attended the retreat at another parish. Our third retreat was planned for 2020 so we were forced to take a break and are excited to back this year!
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Cornerstone is an opportunity to step out of the hustle of daily life to pause and connect by sharing stories and life experiences. It is a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you have the opportunity to examine your relationship with God and others in your life. You can participate in the discussion as much, or as little, as you choose. The retreat is hosted at our parish campus by women who have experienced the gift of past Cornerstone retreats and want to share this soulful treasure with others.
WHAT IS THE GIFT?
See old friends, Meet NEW friends, Have time to reflect, Have time to share or just Listen, and very tangibly feel God's love and support!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Cornerstone is not for one type of woman. It is for working and non-working women, mothers and non-mothers, women in their 20's to grandmothers, married, never married and formerly married. It is for any adult woman looking for a deeper connection to God, self, and other women within our parish community. There is a place in Cornerstone for everyone.
