- 17th Annual Women's Fall Retreat
  
  Please Join us for our women’s retreat centred on renewal, hope, and the invitation to encounter Christ more deeply because our hearts are made to know Him and to live in the power of His resurrection.
  We warmly invite you to the 17th Annual Women’s Fall Retreat, taking place on Saturday, October 24th, 2026, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at St. Michael Catholic High School, 2755 Hwy. 43, Kemptville, ON.
  This year, we are blessed to welcome Melanie Rabishaw as our guest speaker. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Kingston, our theme is “To know Christ and the power of His resurrection" (Phil 3:10).
  Our retreat day will begin with the celebration of Holy Mass. Throughout the day, Melanie will share reflections that invite us to grow in our relationship with Christ and to experience the hope, strength, and new life found in Him. There will be opportunities for worship, personal prayer, and quiet reflection, allowing space to encounter Christ in a meaningful and personal way.
  A nourishing lunch and light refreshments will be served, offering time for community and conversation. The registration fee for the retreat is $50, which includes all sessions, morning snack, and lunch.
  Come and experience the joy of a day set apart—deepening your faith, renewing your spirit, and gathering in fellowship with other women. We look forward to sharing this special time with you.
