Serenity Retreats focus on the spiritual principles and practices of the 12 Step program of recovery from addictions. The Friars have had a long-standing outreach to the 12 Step communities. We listen to 5th Steps and our retreats support Step 11 – “we sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood him…”

The Provincial Government has extended the COVID-19 restrictions until January 21. This means we are not able to offer our Serenity Twilight Retreat in January. Our next Twilight retreats will be Wednesday February 3 (Women) and Thursday February 4 (Men). Please call to register and please pass this message along in your groups. We know this is a difficult time for everyone and we wish we could welcome you after the holidays, but, hopefully, we will be able to gather again in February. Know that we continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe and well; One Day at a Time. 

Monthly Twilight Retreats

The Serenity Twilights take place normally on the first Wednesday and Thursday of each month, September – June. This year the Serenity Twilights will focus on the spiritual wisdom found within the 12 Step Program. The program is simple – although not easy – wholistic and life-giving. For over 85 years countless individuals have found in these practical steps a spiritual path that has grounded them in their recovery.

Registration/Times: To register please call 403.932.2012 or email mtfrancis@shaw.ca a few days before the date. The suggested contribution is $25.00 for each evening. Arrive any time after 4 p.m. Dinner is served at 6:30 pm followed by a presentation at 7:30 pm, quiet time and final prayer meditation. The evening concludes around 9:00 pm.
