I will maintain absolutely confidential the names of all retreat participants and the retreat location, as well as the content of what is shared during our sessions together.
I agree.
I understand that the retreat starts at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and ends by 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. I commit to the entire retreat. If there is a pressing need for me to leave early, I will discuss it with a retreat team member before leaving.

I agree.
Retreat Cost
The suggested registration fee is $125/retreatant. The actual cost to the Diocese to host a retreat weekend is $400/person. While we do not want the registration fee to prevent anyone from attending the retreat, we do ask that retreatants pay what they can to help offset expenses.

Any amount over $400 will be noted as a donation to assist others in attending.
Payment may be made by check, ACH payment, credit/debit card, or money order payable to “Diocese of Portland.” Checks and money orders should be mailed to:
Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland
