Make this short 3-week Advent season an enriching one, and jump into our new 2023-2024 Year of Prayer (designated by Pope Francis) by joining us for a one-day retreat where we unpack this theme. We will explore the five primary types of prayer: Thanksgiving, Petition, Intercession, Praise, and Adoration. This retreat is open to undergraduates and young adults and will take place at UW Newman. No RSVP Needed.
