Ava’s Grace Retreat for couples grieving the loss of a baby before or after birth

If you have lost a baby before or after birth, you are not alone. Come join others who have suffered miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss for a daylong retreat, free of charge, to help face your grief in the context of fellowship and faith. The retreat will be held on Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Parish Center on the campus of Notre Dame. The retreat will include a witness talk by John and Mary O’Callaghan, couple conversation, small group discussion, Mass, Eucharistic adoration, and a pilgrimage to the Grotto. Lunch will be provided. While this retreat is geared for couples, individuals are welcome as well.
