From Otilia D. (OLP Parishioner and Talitha Koum Ministry volunteer)
"I have been volunteering for this wonderful ministry for a year or so now and have found it to be an amazing experience for our 8-12th grade young women. It is an overnight retreat at St. Francis of Assisi that focuses on teaching young women to embrace and celebrate their true feminine identity using Sacred Scripture and Catholic Teachings. The retreat includes Reconciliation, Adoration, and Mass as well as all meals, overnight accommodations, and materials. It is an amazing experience for everyone involved and I would love to see more involvement from our parish. The theme changes every year and there are 4 retreats scheduled for each theme. So, young women can actually attend from year to year and get a different experience. "
