About
Serve the Lord through volunteering
Come and be part of our mission, serving Christ through love, humility, and generosity.
If you feel called to serve the Lord through the ministries of Divine Retreat Centre, we warmly invite you to attend one of our retreats and experience the spiritual life and the ministry here.
Following the retreat, you can meet with one of our priests to express your interest in volunteering and discern how your God-given gifts and talents may be used in service of Christ and his Church.
Whether you can spare a few hours, a day, or assist during a retreat, every act of service is a blessing.
