Spiritual Retreat for Veterans Offered in South St. Louis County
ST. LOUIS, April 10, 2018 (Newswire.com) - White House Retreat in St. Louis, MO will host their third annual Veteran’s Spiritual Retreat this summer. The three-day event, running June 29 – July 1, is offered to men and women who served in the U.S. Military, and features a series of spiritual talks, small group discussion, quiet time for personal prayer and meditation, non-denominational prayer services, and fellowship. The retreat will be directed by Fr. James Conroy, S.J., a Vietnam era Veteran and Jesuit priest. Veterans of all faiths are welcome to attend! White House hopes the event will promote healing and equip Veterans with faith-based tools to help them cope with life’s stresses.
White House offers this retreat, which includes private overnight accommodations and all meals, at a very minimal cost. The only charge for those attending is a $25 deposit to reserve a space.
