Annual Winter Retreat & Continuing Care Capstone Celebration:Â
Gifted & Sifted
By God’s grace and the support of our fellows, we have been gifted with the gift of sobriety. To get there we needed to sift through our thoughts, feelings, words and actions. And to deepen the gift we need to continue to sift-separating what feeds recovery from what famines it. Join us as we explore and share our experience, strength and hope about the gifting and the sifting of 12-Step spirituality.
Â
Also, as a part of this retreat experience, we will honor and celebrate those alumni of ours who recently completed the three phases of our Continuing Care Program. Wednesday evening, we will have dinner, followed by a Continuing Care Capstone Celebration. Fr. Mark Stelzer will be present to facilitate honoring our Continuing Care graduates.
