Koinonia is a Greek word that means community. So come and share a weekend in Christian community, reflecting on God's presence in our lives! This retreat consists of talks, discussions and liturgical celebrations, as well as time for fun and relaxation. The weekend is not a seminar, not a social gathering, nor is it counseling. It is time to retreat, to reflect, and to heal. |
|
|
|
|
|
The retreat is sponsored by the Office for Marriage and Family Life, Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, and approved by the Office of Apostolic Services, Archdiocese of St. Louis. The cost is $95 which covers room, board, and materials. Download the DASK flier which includes financial assistance information, a registration form, contact information, and more.

The Beginning Experience Weekend creates a space for separated, divorced and widowed persons to re-evaluate themselves and their lives, and to look to the future with renewed hope. The Weekend is for people who have worked through the initial stages of grief (anger, despair and rejection) and for those who have found themselves stuck at a point in their single life. Recommended time from the loss before a weekend is one year for the widowed and six months for the divorced or legally separated. |
