The SMM Women's Guild will host a one-day retreat on April 5, 2025 at Saint Margaret Mary, featuring nationally renowned speaker and author, Lisa Cotter. You can chose to attend the full day, the morning session or the afternoon session. Meals and snacks will be provided.
Lisa will present "Reveal the Gift: Living the Feminine Genius". Using Biblical principles, insights from St. Pope John Paul II’s feminine genius, and the heroic example of modern-day saints, Lisa gets to the truth about what it means to be an authentic woman. Her second talk during the afternoon session, entitled, "What do you want me to do for you?" brings the story of Jesus healing the blind Bartimaeaus to life and leads into a powerful encounter with the Lord in adoration.
