Retreat to Shrine Mont This September at St. Paul's Parish Weekend

When can you put down your phone and pick up your soul? How can you slow life down? Where can you sit on a porch rocker, hang out with family & friends and reconnect with life? Why, at our parish retreat at Shrine Mont, of course!

Please join St. Paul’s as we celebrate time at this “place apart for rest, devotion and fellowship where we may all grow in the grace of God.” We will worship in beautiful Orkney Springs, VA, September 13-15. And remember, if you are a younger parishioner, then we’ll have a youth program and babysitters will be available for our littlest parishioners.

We are delighted to announce that our speakers this year will be the Rev. Ross Kane and Dr. Ted Martin, who will speak to us about faith and science. We love our Shrine Mont sessions to be interactive and Ross and Ted want to hear from you in advance. Get your questions about faith and science ready so you can help to guide the weekend’s conversation. Look for opportunities to shape the discussion on our registration form as well as for posts on our Facebook page.

Registration forms are available at the church office, on the welcome cart or on the homepage of the St. Paul’s website. If have any questions or would like to help make the weekend even better, then please join our planning team by contacting Tara Foscato (202-997-4135 or tarawfoscato@gmail.com) or Ellen King (703-549-3312 or ellen@stpaulsalexandria.com). We hope you can join us this September at Shrine Mont!

Thanks to everyone who made this year's Shrine Mont weekend a great success! Particular thanks go to the planning team, which was ably led by Tara Foscato, and to the Rev. Sean Cavanaugh for leading a thought-provoking discussion on “Jesus in the Age of Narcissism.”

It was a wonderful weekend of relaxation and fellowship in the Shenandoah Valley. We had about 140 people, many who came for the first time. Click below a few photos from the weekend:
