SATURDAY RETREATS

We offer monthly Saturday retreats in Kansas. These retreats can be attended in person or via Zoom so they are available for far more people than just the local Kansans. If you would like to attend in person, Mass is held at St. John’s Parish in Beloit, KS and we then move to 500 N Mill Street – to the Ministry House. If you would like to attend via zoom please indicate that when you register.
These One day retreat are offered FREE OF CHARGE. Come and pursue the Lord and He will provide! Yet, we can only continue our ministry through the support of partners like you! So pray about partnering with us so more souls can encounter Christ on our retreats! You can donate in cash or check at the time of the retreat or head to our donation page to make your donation – https://in-ipso.org/donate/
