Women’s Retreat

Ladies: Prepare Him room this Advent at our 2026 women’s retreat on Sat., Dec. 12th in Xavier Hall from 9 am to 2 pm. Take this opportunity to pause during Advent to pursue the One who pursues you: Jesus. This retreat, like the Gospel, is offered free of charge to participants. However, donations in thanksgiving are welcome and encouraged. The deadline to register is Nov. 29th.

Meet our speaker: Rachel Bulman is a wife, mother of six, author, and national speaker who lives in central Florida. She served as editor for With All Her Mind: A Call to the Intellectual Life (Word on Fire, 2022) and authored Becoming Wife: Saying Yes to More Than the Dress (Our Sunday Visitor, June 2023). She appears with her family in the series Meet the Bulmans on the Word on Fire Institute YouTube channel, and she and her husband, a permanent deacon, wrote and recorded a novena for married couples that is featured on Hallow, the #1 Catholic meditation, prayer, and sleep app. You can also hear her every Thursday on Sirius XM’s The Catholic Channel, where she co-hosts Strong Voices.
