Tom, the parish tech support person, will be going to the Men’s retreat from July 22-24.  Email him at webservant@stvalentinechurch.com if you are interested in going to that retreat and meeting up while there.
​Need a Catholic Retreat?A retreat is a time to pause from the busy world and reflect on your spiritual life in a variety of ways. 

The Redemptorists run retreats throughout the year at San Alfonso Retreat House, 755 Ocean Ave, Long Branch, NJ. You can visit https://www.sanalfonsoretreats.org/ or call 732-222-2731 for more information and a list of retreat dates. 

The retreat theme for 2022 is Eucharistic: “The Real Presence: Gift of God and Blessing to One Another.” Through talks, rituals, liturgies, and time for quiet contemplation, the retreat will invite us to a deeper awareness of the grace and power of real presence - with God, with ourselves, with others, and with all creation.  As we reflect on our life stories in the peace of Christ and the light of his Spirit, we pray to be the blessing of Jesus’ presence - love and compassion - to one another and all.
   
The cost of the retreat is $260 (deposit of $50) and includes lodging and meals.
