Light of the World Evangelization Ministries (LOTWEM) is a powerful retreat that has brought joy and renewal to St. Mary Parish. It is designed to bring you closer to Jesus Christ through the renewal of sacramental graces and love in and through community.

St. Mary's hold two retreats each year, one in the spring and one in the fall and it is designed for adults 18 years or older. There is no cost for the retreat and it is held inhouse so you can return to your home each evening. You are well fed and will find the weekend very warm and inviting.

There is no obligation to speak. We only invite  you to come and hear the witness of others, experience the love of God and community and allow yourself to be present and open to the Holy Spirit. By participating in the retreat you help strengthen St. Mary Parish as a whole. We ask you to prayfully consider attending the next Light of the World Evangelization Retreat once Covid restrictions are lifted.

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

What is the purpose of your life? What gives your life meaning? Can you really know God's plan for your life? If you've ever asked yourself these questions, the "Good News" of the Gospel is that you are not alone! Many people have these questions in their heart. Through the Light of the World Evangelization Ministry retreat you may come to find some answers to these questions.

When you attend the LOTW retreat you will experience the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ. You will discover how to move forward on your journey of faith.  The Gospel will come alive as we reflect upon topics such as: God's love for you; our enemies; making Jesus the Lord of your life; and surrendering your life to the Holy Spirit.

This is an inhouse retreat meaning it is held at the Parish Center and you can return home each night. There is no cost to you and all meals are provided! You will find the weekend warm and inviting and will come to know Christ in a new way. Over 250 of our parishioners have attended LOTW in past four years. Come. Rekindle your love of Christ. Deepen your relationship with Him.

"The LOTW retreat has helped me to clarify and prioritize what's really important in this next chapter of my life."

"The LOTW has guided me to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with the Holy Spirit and other members of Saint Mary Parish."

"LOTW has changed my life. I have a closer relationship with Jesus. And I feel more a part of the community at Saint Mary's. The LOTW retreat was the beginning of truly making a commitment to keep Jesus Christ as the center of my life."
