Woman of Worth Retreat

"Who can find a woman of worth?" Proverbs 31:10 asks. This retreat will feature five talks on what makes us and those who have gone before us women of worth--and how to see the woman the Lord sees in us. Held on the beautiful grounds of the San Damiano Spiritual Life Center, there will be time for discussion, quiet conversation with God, journaling... and naps!

The retreat includes Mass and confession on Saturday; three meals on Saturday and two on Sunday; two books; and other helpful resources.

Melanie Rigney, the retreat facilitator, is the author of several books of interest to Catholic women, including Woman of Worth: Prayers and Reflections for Women Inspired by the Book of Proverbs and Sisterhood of Saints: Daily Guidance and Inspiration. She lives in Arlington, VA. Learn more about Melanie.
