Women's Retreat
St. Joachim will be hosting Mrs. Katie Ibarra to guide us learning how to pray. Mrs. Ibarra was a missionary on college campus for three years with FOCUS, teaching and guiding college students into the life of faith. She then worked with ECHO Community doing catechesis on St. John Paul II's theology of the body. She earned a Masters in Theology from Notre Dame Seminary, after which she taught theology at Dominican High School in New Orleans. She has since earned a certificate in spiritual direction, and is now a part-time campus minister at LSU, where she does spiritual direction for students and as well as teach a class on the spiritual life. She does all this while also homeschooling her two daughters. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in guiding people to deeper prayer, especially women.
Of the course of the day, there will be time for prayer, learning, and community, and of course, we will have snacks and lunch.
