it started as a GA retreat about 30 years ago
but
hey, it's GA, AA, NA, as long as you don't see the DA
lol
seriously, it's a spiritual weekend
but
yes, a men's retreat
and many, as myself, have been attending thurout their recovery
if you check the calendar
there is a program for women
it's a wondeerful weekend of spirituality
quiet, serene, friendly, soul cleansing, inner focus
beautiful dining room, grounds, rooms, religious artifacts, etc
groups, focus lectures, confession, healing mass, rosary walk, spiritual consultaion
you can attend what you wish
interesting history
Mr. and Mrs. Brady built the mansion with a religious theme
chapels, staions of the cross, etc
they were very much involved with the church
as vicars or such
and the Pope even visited in the 1930's
after Mr. Brady passed away
his wife donated the property to the church
and
moved to serve at vatican city
it was a monastery, etc
and
now serves as a sanctuary for many
as per website
the grounds are always open
and
i've gone there occasionally to sit in the gardens
best
frankie
