Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not a Catholic, but interested in attending the retreat, am I still able to attend?

Yes, our retreat is open to everyone. But it has many Catholic elements. All we ask is your willingness to be open. We do not try to convert anyone or force Catholic values on anyone.

Do you have financial assistance available?

Yes. We will consider it on a case-by-case and need basis. If you really want to attend, we will do our best to help.

I'm over 40, can I still attend?

We're here to help people grow spiritually. If you really wanted to attend, please contact us by email. We can help to see if Caritas or another retreat is best for you. Our Registration Team, which includes a priest Chaplain, will give our best advice so you can better decide.

Is it a good idea for my significant other and I to attend the same Caritas Retreat?

Yes! However, we learn from experience that going on a retreat with the appropriate attitude is key to how much one will gain from it. If you both intend to go, please talk about giving each other personal space on the retreat to grow individually as well as a couple. Experience has clearly shown that couples who give each other enough personal space on the retreat benefit and grow more from it, whereas couples who are often by each other's side end up growing and benefitting less from the retreat.

I'd like to attend but do not know many people, can I carpool with someone?

Yes! Once you register, a Team member will contact you by phone. Please voice your hesitation and desire to this person. We will help set-up carpools.

Please don't hesitate to contact us with any further questions.
