What is Women's Cornerstone?
The Cornerstone Retreat was brought to OLM in 2017. Some might call it a “Spa for the Soul” or a “Chance for Renewal”. Cornerstone is a 25-hour parish-sponsored spiritual retreat that brings women together to deepen their faith and grow in knowledge and love of God. At the same time, they will get to know other parishioners and experience Christian Community in a very special way within OLM. The next Women's Cornerstone will be held on October 11-12, 2019.
Who runs the Cornerstone weekend?
Cornerstone is run by a team of women who have all attended Cornerstone weekends in the past. Each woman shares her time and talents in a variety of ways such as leading small group discussions, speaking on selected themes, planning prayer services, selecting decorations, or helping out in the kitchen. Team members have specific roles, but all enthusiastically share one goal - to support you along your faith journey.
What will the Cornerstone weekend be like?
The Cornerstone Team prepares a beautiful experience to renew you in every way -- spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The weekend takes place here at OLM. It begins on Friday evening at 7:30pm and ends with a Closing Liturgy and celebration on Saturday evening.
What are Cornerstone Witness Talks?
An essential component of every Cornerstone retreat, the Cornerstone witness talks are a sharing of personal experiences of God’s love and His constant presence in our lives. Each speaker gives her “witness” -- who she is and her relationship with the Lord. After each talk, participants are free to join in small group discussion, or simply sit back, listen and be inspired by these stories of the “Good News” of Jesus with us today.
