There are many reasons to attend the parish retreat:

• Rev. Binder’s three sessions that will focus on spiritual growth.
• Cozy rooms in quaint cottages and houses in a secluded resort community from yesteryear; time stands still at Shrine Mont; no traffic, no TV, no cell phones, no computers…
• The setting is as peaceful as it gets, take the opportunity to curl up on a porch with a book.
• Puzzles, cards
• Music
• Golf, swimming, tennis
• Horseback riding (call ahead, TJ Stables, 540-856-8100)
• Scenic hiking and nature trails
