FIAT Catholic Retreat
Join us on
October 22nd- 25th, 2026
At Our Lady of Corpus Christi Retreat Center
Every journey begins with one word…
“YES”
Two thousand years ago, a young woman received an invitation that would change the world. Her response was simple. "Let it be done to me according to your word."(Luke 1:38) That single "Yes" became known as Mary's Fiat. It was a response of faith. A response of trust. A response of surrender to God's plan. Today... God continues to extend that same invitation to each of us.
The FIAT Retreat is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life... to encounter Christ... to discover His love... and to find the courage to answer Him with your own "Yes." Come exactly as you are. God will meet you there.
An Invitation
God rarely calls us when life is convenient. He simply calls. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes unexpectedly. Always lovingly.
What if... this invitation is more than a weekend away? What if it is an opportunity to rediscover the peace your heart has been longing for? What if Christ has been waiting for this moment... just as He has been waiting for you?
The FIAT Retreat is an invitation to pause... to listen... to trust... and to discover that God is often found in the moments we least expect. You do not have to know exactly where the journey will lead. You simply need the courage to answer His invitation. One "Yes" can change everything.
"Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."
— 1 Samuel 3:10
What Is FIAT?
Every one of us receives moments when God gently invites us to trust Him more deeply. Sometimes He calls us to take a step we did not expect. Sometimes He simply asks us to open our hearts. Mary answered God's invitation with one word: Fiat.
"Let it be done to me according to your word."
The FIAT Retreat is built upon that same response. It is not about having all the answers. It is not about having perfect faith. It is about becoming open to whatever God desires to do in your life. For one weekend... step away from the ordinary. Make room for God. And discover the beauty of saying YES! God never forces an invitation. He simply waits for our response.
If You Say Yes...
You may encounter Christ in a way you have never experienced before. No one can predict exactly what God has prepared for your weekend. Each retreat is as unique as the hearts He calls.
Accepting the Invitation
If you feel God may be inviting you to this retreat, we would be honored to walk beside you as you discover the beauty of His invitation. Complete the registration information and return it to the parish office.

We Have Been Praying for You
Long before you picked up this brochure... someone was praying for you. Long before you considered attending this retreat... God already knew your name. This invitation is His gentle reminder that He has never stopped calling you closer. If your heart is stirring... trust Him.
One simple "Yes" may be the beginning of something beautiful.
We hope to welcome you home.
