The Religious Retreat Committee  organizes annual retreats to pro- mote collective prayer in a tranquil atmosphere, where the faithful can strengthen their spirituality through religious lectures, medita- tion, and pastoral guidance of the Diocesan clergy. Far from urban noise and daily hustle, the participants are granted a unique oppor- tunity to reconnect with God and His wonderful  creation. In the natural setting and monastic seclusion, the faithful finds it easier to concentrate, reflect, and pray.
