A life of joy and purpose begins with a simple question: How am I being called to serve others?
Join us for a Life Awareness Retreat from Friday, February 20, 2026, 5:30 p.m., through Saturday, February 21, 2026, 4:30 p.m., at Saint Benedict’s Monastery in St. Joseph, Minn., as we explore this question and others together in Christ’s company.
Life Awareness is a retreat program for single Catholic women and men, ages 18–30, interested in learning more about serving our Church and world as future priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers, and lay ministers/missioners. We hope you’ll join us for a gathering that welcomes you and your questions—even your doubts—as we share stories, sharpen skills for listening and discernment, and experience the impact of our Catholic faith in service to others.
