Parish Retreats & Missions

Parish Retreats & Missions

← Services

Your community has people who are ready. The hunger is real – you can feel it in conversations after Mass, in the questions people are starting to ask, in the leaders who keep showing up. What's missing isn't willingness. It's someone to come alongside you, listen, and help you create the kind of experience that actually moves people.

That's what we do. Our team of speakers and formation leaders will come to your parish, school, or diocese – not with a canned program off the shelf, but ready to shape something genuinely for your people.

Does this sound familiar?

Your parish has done retreats before – people leave inspired, and then life resumes exactly as it was. The problem usually isn't the event. It's that the event wasn't connected to anything bigger.  We've written about why that happens →


Or you know your community needs something, but you're not sure what format is right – a mission, a retreat, a workshop. You need someone to help you discern, not just sell you a slot.  That's exactly the kind of conversation we want to have →

How We Can Come to You

We offer three main formats – but the format is always the starting point, not the ending point. Every event is tweaked, adjusted, and personalized to fit the needs and themes of your community. No two events are ever exactly the same.

  • Parish Missions
  • Multi-evening experiences centered on the kerygma — designed to spark encounter and renew faith across your whole parish. One to three evenings.

    Ideal for Lent, Advent, Eucharistic Revival, or evangelization kickoffs.
  • Full Day Retreats
  • Immersive days of prayer and formation for parishes, school faculties, pastoral councils, or ministry teams. Half-day to multi-day formats.

    Ideal for staff renewal, deanery gatherings, and formation days.
  • Workshops & Short Talks
  • Focused sessions on specific formation themes — great as a standalone event or part of a broader series.

    Available for a single parish, regional cluster, or diocesan audience.

Sample Topics & Themes

These are representative starting points, not a fixed catalog. Every event is discerned collaboratively – final themes and sessions are shaped around your community's unique moment and needs.

Encounter & Evangelization

Accompaniment & Discipleship

Prayer & the Holy Spirit

Identity & Mission

Other topics available upon request. We also support Alpha and ChristLife retreat formats.

 For Families & Parents

Parishes don't form disciples in isolation – families are the first school of faith. These sessions are designed for parent nights, family formation events, or as a complement to a broader parish mission or retreat. Each one is practical, relatable, and rooted in the same Gospel-centered approach we bring to everything we do.

  • It All Starts With Prayer – Practical tools and encouragement for families who want prayer to be real at home, not just at Mass.
  • Digital Culture & Intentional Discipleship – Helping parents navigate screens, social media, and technology with clarity and confidence – and keep faith at the center of family life.  
  • Love Languages for Families – How understanding the way your family members give and receive love opens the door to deeper connection and Gospel witness at home.

These sessions can be offered as a standalone parent night, paired with a parish mission, or woven into a broader family formation series. Contact us to discuss what fits your community →

We also lead retreats for deacons, diaconate candidates, and clergy. Learn more →

We don't do canned missions, presentations, or retreats. Before we propose anything, we listen. We ask about your community, your season, your people. Then we shape each experience around what you actually need – which is why what we deliver feels like it was built for your parish. Because it was.

What Others Are Saying...

  • God had a message just for me.

    "I didn't want to come today, but less than 30 minutes in, I knew God had a message just for me.  Kristin is so down to earth and relatable, but with a gift for sharing God's heart."

    Catechetical Leader • Archdiocese of Milwaukee

  • There have been tangible fruits in our parish.

    "Not only have I heard from almost everyone who was there how good it was and how they thought it was the best retreat yet, there have been tangible fruits in our parish because of this mission. On the final night of the Mission/Retreat, those present had an opportunity to be prayed with. Everyone I spoke with who was there expressed that they truly felt the presence of the Holy Spirit.

    Since that powerful night, I personally have heard of two people who were physically healed that night—or at least symptoms they experienced daily have suddenly disappeared since that encounter of our Lord. I firmly believe though that everyone who was there was healed in some way- particularly spiritually- the most important healing."

    Evangelization Director • Lake Zurich, IL

  • Shared experiences are so powerful.

    "Father, the staff, and I have been recounting all the blessings from the AWESOME evening you spent with us! Thank you for being a huge part of this evening, for sharing your gifts of teaching and storytelling, for giving us a reason to laugh and cry with you, and for connecting us to Jesus in the Eucharist. Words can’t express how grateful we are to you! Personally, I had on my director hat, but I was knocked over with the prayer you lead. 

    The parents who attended were able to connect with your stories and I could hear them giggling. Shared experiences are so powerful. Thank you for sharing of yourself and our Catholic faith!  The Holy Spirit is swirling around us."

    Parish Faith Formation Director • Archdiocese of Milwaukee

  • Peace and hope I wasn't even aware I lacked.

    "It was a wonderful Parish Mission. Even more than I was expecting. I have heard wonderful feedback. I felt the Holy Spirit at work in my heart each night and I'm feeling a peace and hope that I wasn't even aware I lacked. Thank you!"

    Parish Leader, Sacred Heart, Manawa 

  • One of the highest speaker ratings

    "Thank you so much for your awesome service to our diocese as a keynote presenter for our Ministry Days last week! What a blessing it was to have you in the diocese for our gathering – we are truly grateful!  

    I have been the lead staff person for Ministry Days for many years, and we have consistently used a five-point scale for assessing our speakers, facilities, organization/hospitality, etc. Your mark of “4.80” is truly one of the two or three highest for a speaker that I can remember over these past 20+ years. So, again, thanks for your great witness and work during our days!"

    Todd Graff, Director of Lay Formation, Diocese of Winona Rochester
