Saturday Retreat Schedule
SATURDAY MORNING
8:00 am: Registration
9:00 am: Welcome
9:15 am: Session One
Seen, Known, Loved
Drawn from Isaiah 43, scripture reveals an intensely passionate image of God’s love for his people. This session will invite us into a deeper encounter with a God who intimately sees, knows, and loves us.
10:20 am: Break
10:45 am: Session Two
Rooted In The Storm (adult focus)
“Steadfast, peaceful, persevering, dare I say joy-filled,'' different seasons of life offer various trials; who wouldn’t desire the above description to be their response in those times. Through an examination of our own hearts and the truths of our faith, this session will invite us to become more deeply rooted in the truth about who God is and how we can trust him with our suffering.
Rooting Your Identity In Truth (high school focus)
We have all faced conflicting and confusing messages about our female identity. It’s easy to be swayed by popular opinion, friends, or loud messaging. Scripture and church teaching, however, provides an incredibly beautiful perspective on our femininity; there are tools to help us remain rooted in these truths even when challenged.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
12:15 pm: Mass
1:15 pm: Lunch (Confession available)
2:30 pm: Session Three
Praise & Worship
Called To Love
Every woman is a gift, uniquely seen, known and called to love. Loving God and our neighbor should not feel like a burden or a checklist, but rather a response to the love that has been poured out for us. In fact, loving others can lead to deeper healing and transformation for ourselves.

GROWTH IN MISSION
1:00 pm
1: Accompanying Young Women In The Faith
Rachel and Debbie Herbeck
Gain insights from Debbie and Rachel's vast experience accompanying young women through the Be Love Revolution. Get practical ideas for how to start a Be Love Revolution in your own parish or school.
2: Intentional Accompaniment
Holly Leonard
Everywhere we look there are people who "do not know Jesus or do not know him well enough;" you likely have people you love who fit this description. Come and learn practical skills to help you meet people where they are at and accompany them closer to Jesus.
3: Charisms:Jewels That Adorn The Bride of Christ
Jim Anderson
Charisms are God-given gifts for service, mission, and the building up the Kingdom of God in this world, and as such they are a sure aid to missionary discipleship. The exercise of the charisms brings glory to God, as his people are filled with the grace and joy of the Holy Spirit. Thus the charisms are like jewels that adorn the Bride of Christ, sparkling with the light of God’s life and love.
4: Accompanying Women Post Abortion
Anne-Marie Hughes
Would you know her if you saw her? An estimated 1 in 3 Canadian Women will have an abortion during her lifetime. While abortion is often considered an issue that exists outside our church walls, men and women suffer silently among us believing their shame is too much for the mercy of God or our church. How can we approach this justice issue with the grace and mercy that brings healing for mothers and fathers while remembering the child? Abortion healing is reconciling families.
This session will include testimonials from women who have accompanied women in their healing journey.
Workshop Session 2
GROWTH IN HOLINESS
2:15 pm
1: Lessons From The School Of Love: Creating A Christ-Centered Marriage
Debbie Herbeck
Debbie provides a sneak peek into some of the insights on marriage that will be shared in her new book, written with her husband, on marriage and family life.
2: Open To The Call
Panel
For both parents and young women discerning their vocation. Hear stories of discernment and receive encouragement on how to foster an openness in your own heart and in the hearts of those you accompany to hear God's call to a religious vocation. Question and answer period included.
3: Freedom In Christ
Anne Williams
Healing is a lifelong process that is an essential aspect of the Christian life as we are all wounded and experience brokenness in our lives. Although it is the work of the Divine Physician we need to give consent and cooperate with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Gain knowledge and understanding regarding significant areas in which wounding occurs, the resultant persistent consequences and some basic principles to healing and freedom.
4: Seizing Joy
Christy Dupuis, Karen Ewen
A unique prayer workshop. Come and discover new ways to cultivate joy and wonder in your relationship with Jesus.

Arise Catholic Movement thanks Saskatchewan locals Paul & Rebecca Hilton of Primerica for their support.
In 1977, Primerica was founded on a simple idea: Just do what's right. That concept remains at the heart of everything we do for Main Street families every day.
Through our HOW MONEY WORKS materials, we teach people the basics of personal finance because we believe a solid foundation is the key to making healthy money choices. We pioneered the "Buy Term and Invest the Difference" philosophy - a crusade which revolutionized the life insurance industry and the investment business. And from the beginning, we have only offered term life insurance as part of our commitment to only market products that are right for the consumer, a philosophy we still apply to our solutions today.

MEAL SPONSOR
Arise Catholic Movement thanks Saskatchewan local
Providence Farms for their support by covering the
catering cost of a meal during the retreat.
Hello, our names are Yves and Brigitte Thibault along with our daughter Chloe, and we are the proud owners of Providence Farms. The farm is located east of Saskatoon off highway 5. We have grown in knowledge about regenerative farming and decided with the 10 acres that we own we would raise hogs. The old farm yard we bought was completely reclaimed by nature. The challenge with having an overgrown yard is the clean up, so we decided to purchase our first group of hogs to aid us in bringing back this farm. The farm practice we used to do so is known as rotational grazing. We were amazed at the work they did, and realized when given the opportunity hogs do great work. Having learned this we decided to enter into the adventure of not just raising them but taking on the challege of breading them as well. The hogs we raise are primarily purebred Berkshire hogs.

“It could not have come at a better time in my life.”

“ I’m in tears.... and I’ve only watched the first session!”

“I feel this is a commissioning. I want to grow in my commitment to scripture. I want to build other women up in my circle.”
ENCOUNTER
Jesus is not limited by our circumstances and He desires, always, at all times, to meet us where we are at. Through powerful and engaging talks, small group discussion, praise & worship, and opportunities for prayer we will encounter Jesus if our hearts remain open to what He has in store for each of us.
COMMUNITY
This year we are finally able to gather together in person. Having been through the last couple years it is time to once again experience the kind of community that we are called to. The type of community that encourages each of us to continue to grow, to pray, to share and support one another with a few laughs along the way. We cannot wait to hear a room full of female voices singing praise in unison once again!
BEAUTY
Beauty is one of the ways that we encounter the heart of Jesus. Be prepared to be immersed in a weekend filled with beauty. Your eyes, ears, mind and heart will experience a variety of treasures you will never forget.
