(Galveston, TX) The Stella Maris Center presented it's first Island Retreat on Galveston Island the weekend of April 10-11, 2021.   The retreat started early, on Friday night,  for some participants who took advantage of a special hotel rate, to come early, enjoy the island and relax before a full weekend.
          This first English retreat focused on the Sacrament of Matrimony, indiviudal and couple prayer and spirituality.  No rushing on this weekend... short presentations were followed by rich, long periods of  prayer time as a couple.  While this retreat focused on couple prayer and spirituality, Stella Maris Center will also be hosting retreats that focus on Tools for Happy, Holy, and Real Marriages!
           Plans are in the works for the next Stella Maris Island Retreat this Fall.  Registrations will be opening soon!

          Spend some quality time "away" with your husband or wife with a  Stella Maris Island Retreat! The next retreat will take place in the Fall of 2021 at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Galveston, TX. 
          Grow closer to God and each other at this unique retreat! Included in your getaway are your retreat materials, meals on Saturday (3) and Sunday (2), and a one night stay at the hotel.  There is an optional Friday night hotel stay (at an additional discounted cost) for your convenience.  Don't miss this great opportunity to spend some time away to pray and play!  
          As with any retreat, part of the experience is to disconnect from ordinary life and duties. Please make arrangements for proper care for your children and pets. Child care is not available at the hotel.
