"We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world." A retreat centered on the mystery and majesty of the Holy Cross - the instrument of our salvation and the sign of God's unfathomable love. Rooted in the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, this retreat invites you to gaze upon the Cross not as a symbol of defeat, but as the radiant center of Christian hope, mercy, and redemption. This retreat will offer time to come face-to-face with the Cross in your own life and to allow Christ to lift you up through it. Whether you carry burdens of grief, struggle, forgiveness, or surrender, the Cross stands as an invitation to deeper trust, renewal, and union with the crucified and risen Christ.
