Organisers of the Grace and Silence retreat at the Schoenstatt Shrine, Armadale say they want to help women discover their calling.

Organisers of the Grace and Silence retreat are calling all young women who wish to contemplate their vocation, whatever that might be, to join them at the Schoenstatt Shrine over four separate dates, beginning May 18.

Designed for single young women aged 17-30, the retreat will offer a day of prayer, silence and reflection in what the women of the Grace and Silence Team describe as “an atmosphere of grace and
serenity”.

Team member and marketing professional, Hanna Lyra, said she was happy to be part of the initiative.

“I think this is great for young women. There isn’t anything out there like this for them and I can think of a few of my friends who would really want to come. I’m happy to be on Team and promote it,” Ms Lyra told The Record.

The retreat, which has been billed as an uninterrupted day of prayer, will include opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration, silent personal prayer and contemplation, and group Rosary.

The retreat will take place between 9.30am–4.30pm on May 18, June 30, July 20 and August 25.

The retreat costs $20 which includes lunch, and morning and afternoon tea. Registration is essential and places are limited.
