Women’s Giving Circle Annual Retreat
Come Away for a Day of Prayer, Reflection, and Sisterhood
Join the women of our Mother Teresa Women’s Giving Circle for a beautiful day of faith, renewal, fellowship, and inspiration at our 2026 Annual Retreat. This special gathering is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and spend intentional time growing closer to Christ alongside a community of women united in faith and generosity.
Throughout the day, attendees will experience dynamic Catholic speakers who will encourage and inspire women in every season of life, meaningful moments of prayer and reflection, opportunities for fellowship, and spiritual renewal in a peaceful retreat setting. Holy Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Simon Peter Engurait, making this a grace-filled day rooted deeply in our Catholic faith.
Whether you are a longtime member of the Women’s Giving Circle or simply looking to deepen your faith and connect with other Catholic women in our Bayou community, we warmly invite you to join us.
Together, the more we GROW, the more we GIVE.
