Missing from the Pews: a Day-long Retreat - December 12, 2026

$30.00

Missing from the Pews is a new retreat where we will take time for prayer and reflection for loved ones who are no longer active in the Catholic Church.

Our day begins at 9:00 am and concludes at 6:30 pm. This retreat includes lunch and a light supper after Mass.

Many people have found that Catholic family and friends, for various reasons, have chosen to step away from the Catholic Church.

The Redemptorist Retreat Center is offering this special time for those who remain active in the Church and are hurting. This gathering is an opportunity for those who experience the absence of a loved one to examine that reality, explore options for dealing with it, and find support from others who face similar struggles.

The entire day is set in a framework of prayer.

Join us in fellowship for this gathering of all who are concerned about their loved ones and are looking for a time and a place to deal with this challenge. In other words, this retreat is not intended for those who are no longer active in the Catholic Church. It is intended for their family members and/or companions who are. Reminder, that “Missing from the Pews” is presented in the context of a prayer experience.

All are welcome! Space is limited, so register today. There is no fee for this event, but you must register to attend. A freewill offering donation to the Center is not required, but gladly accepted!

God bless! 🙏🏻

Please note: Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Some recent feedback from retreat attendees: “It has been a wonderful experience to be here - God has indeed been with us, and you certainly helped facilitate an awareness of God’s presence and action - thank you!”
