We went to the annual Catholic Family Retreat again this year. To our delight, there were more younger children this year, including some friends of ours and their 7 kids. The talks and activities for the children were on the Four Pillars of the Church. The adults listened to Father speak on Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium.
Some of the best moments of the weekend were when the kids were able to play outside together. Personally, I loved the all night adoration. It was so nice to wake up at 1 or 5 am, and walk to spend an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The kids also loved spending the night in the "hotel" room.
I think this has officially become a family tradition. We've been to 4 family retreats now. The kids are already asking when we can go back; some of them even cried when we had to leave. I always love to hear that they enjoyed themselves.
The Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center is such a blessing, and so are the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate who are stationed there. God is so good! Ave Maria!
