Details of this retreat
Be immersed in a profound journey of witness to the miracle of prayer. Join Immaculée Ilibagiza as she follows the Holy Spirit during this weekend pilgrimage at Heritage. A survivor of the Rwandan genocide, Immaculée's love and knowledge of the messages from Our Lady of Kibeho's apparitions are what gave her strength as she hid in a 3x4 bathroom with seven other women. During the unimaginable 92 days, she prayed the rosary unceasingly to quiet the voices of the enemy. During this time, she learned the true meaning of forgiveness, love, hope, and accepting our Lord's will.
Immaculée is passionate about spreading the messages of Our Lady of Kibeho which include the praying of the Seven Sorrows Chaplet that focuses on Mary's sorrow and pain. Experience praying this chaplet in the beautiful and powerful Seven Sorrows Walk here at Heritage.
Program rate includes six talks by Immaculée, two dinners, two breakfasts, one lunch and extended access to the Retreat at Heritage.
This program is open to guests age 18 and older.
