Inaugural Retreat for the
The Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy
The Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy is a new organization that is a spiritual union
for Catholic women and men who are post-abortive and have turned to the Lord Jesus
for forgiveness and healing. It is an excellent way to follow-up spiritually on what we
have received through Rachel’s Vineyard retreats.
We invite all veterans of Rachel’s Vineyard retreats to join us for the very first retreat
offered by the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy! Let’s take the next step together in
seeking spiritual healing and holiness!
Our retreat master will be Fr. Ben Cameron of the Fathers of Mercy, who is the founding Spiritual Director for the Confraternity. Fr. Ben is the Mission Director of the Fathers of Mercy, an experienced retreat master, and he also serves as Site Leader for Rachel’s Vineyard in western Kentucky. He will be introducing us to the spirituality of the Confraternity, and leading us in our journey to holiness. The retreat will be a “mostly silent” retreat, with some periods in which retreatants will be encouraged to talk about
what they are learning. We will have daily Mass, opportunities for the Sacrament of Confession, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Rosary, silent time for prayer and reflection, and several conferences on our spiritual life as post-abortive women and men who are now called to holiness.
This retreat and membership in the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy is also open to
men and women who, though not personally post-abortive, desire to join themselves in
spiritual solidarity with those who are post-abortive.
