About this Event

Easter Retreat for Divorced and Separated

The word surrender doesn't usually evoke excited anticipation or desire in us. And yet, our faith tells us that surrendering our will to the Lord is the central path to life and fulfillment in Him. In this retreat, we'll explore what surrender really means and explore concrete, real-world ways to come into direct contact with our Lord and His will, while discovering the joy and peace that true surrender brings.

About the Speaker: Makani Marquis
In 2006, Makani answered a call to an eremitic life as a hermit "in the middle of nowhere." For the next eight years, he lived in solitude and prayer, letting go of everything: every convenience, comfort and relationship, in order to make room for God. During that time and since, Makani has led retreats and workshops at home and abroad, focusing on divine providence, abandonment, surrender and prayer. Makani and his wife Lisa have two children and are members of St. Francis de Sales Parish in Burnaby.

Registration Deadline: Wednesday, April 24th.
