The mission of the St. Philomena Mother Daughter Retreat is to help participants grow closer to Christ and one another while exploring God’s gift of femininity. Based on biblical wisdom, Catholic teaching, and Pope St. JPII’s Theology of the Body, our retreat offers a whole person approach celebrating and educating on the changes happening to the body, mind, spirit, and social aspects of young women in this age group. Quality mother-daughter time and opening pathways for important discussions are key objectives.
Participants reflect on the gift of their female identity, the gift of friendship, the gifts of marital intimacy and holy chastity, the gift of the Holy Spirit and most importantly the precious gifts they are created to be.
