A Few Reminders for Your Retreatants
- Early registration for your retreat and notification of special needs – a help to Retreat Center planning
- Car-pooling
- Casual dress
- Flexibility in plans for
meeting the amount of the suggested $160 retreat offering
As our retreat fliers say, “More if you can; less if you can’t”
- Availability of Gift Certificates in all desired denominations; no amount is too big or too small.
- Credit hours given for retreat weekend for teachers of religion in the diocese
- Cancellations called in
prior to the day of the retreat make assigning of the rooms more
efficient. Please encourage your retreatants to call these in
early.
Your Pastor --- Vital Collaborator with Your Promotion Team
- Appreciate your pastor and the many directions he is called in.
- Keep him informed of your great plans for promotion in your parish.
- Be sure he knows the date of your retreat. You might be able to get it listed on the parish calendar.
- Welcome his support and ask for his suggestions to include in your Promotion Strategy.
- Invite him to join your group for a meal or a prayer time during your retreat weekend.
- Thank him for his interest.
