Cherished: A Retreat for those in a Season of Infertility

If you struggle with infertility, you may feel isolated and wrestle with a lot of conflicting emotions—especially on Mother’s Day. If this is your burden, you don’t have to carry it alone!

The Diocese of Phoenix Office of Natural Family Planning’s St. Gerard’s Outreach and Springs in the Desert are partnering to support couples carrying the cross of infertility with a day-long retreat on Saturday May 11. Come with your spouse or on your own to be supported, hear inspiring reflections, have opportunities for group sharing, and experience friendship with others on this same path.

Our retreat will include time for prayer in Adoration as well as an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Being at Mass on Mother’s Day can be tough, so we invite you to worship with us at the Vigil Mass for Sunday.

Mount Claret Retreat Center, 4633 N. 54th St., Phoenix, AZ 85018

Cost:
