Weekend Retreats

New Horizons: Celebrating New Life after Divorce
The New Horizons weekend retreat is a one time opportunity for reflection, personal work, and celebration to help people embark on a new phase of life after divorce. The Weekend of Healing is for men and women who are divorced or separated with no chance of reconciliation. Those divorced, recently or for years, will find the weekend rewarding.

Although the weekend is a ministry of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, members of all faiths are welcome. For more information, please contact Lydia LoCoco at 414-758-2214 or lococol@archmil.org.
