Retreats are a wonderful way to take some time away from your everyday life and dedicate time to communing with God in a special way. The RICA Retreat will offer the added benefit of building stronger relationships with your fellow RCIA participants.
Many past RCIA participants have told us that they wished that they had taken the following Monday off from work so that they could continue to bask in the wonderful lightness they were feeling, continue to commune with God in prayer and reflect on the weekend. Although not required, you might consider keeping that option open for you if possible.
