Looking for a time to relax, rest and unwind with the Lord? The Young Adult Ministry of Mary, Mother of the Church invites all young adults ages 18+ for our annual Young Adult Retreat! This year's retreat is called "Camp Ephphata" which means "Be Open" in Greek and the Retreat will be about finding Gods' voice and how we can meaningfully pursue His Will in our lives. 

This will be a relaxing Retreat, perfect to recharge with the Lord with some fun! Camp Ephphata will take place at the scenic Camp Nutimik, Whitemouth, MB from Friday, May 3 - Sunday May 5, 2024, about 1h40 mins from Winnipeg. 

Please arrive at Mary, Mother of the Church (85 Kirkbridge Drive) at 5:30pm on Friday, May 3 and arrive back at the parish by 4pm on Sunday, May 5. The cost is $170 and will cover all accomodations including transportation and food. All registration information will be kept confidential and discarded after the Retreat.

A list of things to bring will be made available and a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you once your payment and registration forms have been received. 

Please contact the parish if you are in need of any financial support. 

Bring your payment by cheque or cash to Mary, Mother of the Church Parish:
