2026 Fall Vita Christi Retreat

“Put on the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.” — Ephesians 6:11

Every day, we face a spiritual battle for our hearts, our faith, and our relationship with Christ. The world offers countless distractions and temptations that can pull us away from the life God is calling us to—but He has not left us to face the battle on our own. Through the Sacraments, prayer, Scripture, the Rosary, Mary, and the pursuit of holiness, God gives us the grace and strength we need to stand firm and live faithfully. At Battle Ready, we will explore the reality of spiritual battle, discover the “weapons” God has given us, and learn how to use them to grow in holiness, resist what pulls us away from Christ, and live boldly as His disciples. Come discover what it means to be equipped, strengthened, and ready to stand firm in Christ.

The retreat will be directed by the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The retreat will begin at 5:00 pm on Friday, October 23. The retreat will conclude after lunch on Sunday, October 25.
