General Announcements 

Retreat focusing on Divine Mercy will be held on April 10-12

A weekend retreat titled “Into the Ocean of Mercy” will be held at Saint Meinrad Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center, 200 Hill Dr. in St. Meinrad, on April 10 through April 12.

Benedictine Father Kolbe Wolniakowski will lead this retreat that draws from the metaphor St. Faustina Kowlaska used to describe the vastness and depth of God’s forgiveness and love.

The retreat will offer participants time to step aside from the pace of daily life and enter a space of stillness where the gentle, healing presence of God’s mercy can be experienced in new and personal ways. Retreatants will reflect on the ways God’s mercy is revealed in their lives and in the world around them and consider how they are called to extend that mercy to others.

Check-in time on April 10 is 2 p.m. CT with Vespers in the Archabbey Church at 5 p.m. The retreat begins at 7:30 p.m. The retreat ends after lunch on Sunday.

The cost is $350 for a single room or $550 for a double, both of which include meals.

For more information or to register, go to saintmeinrad.org/retreats or call 812-357-6611.
