Bishop Robert Gruss is encouraging the faithful to join him in a Holy Hour for vocations. He’ll be in two parishes across the diocese each month.

Bishop Gruss will be bringing with him a relic of St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests, for veneration (learn more about what veneration means here: https://saginaw.org/veneration).  

Update: This retreat is at capacity, and the registration is now closed. To be added to the waiting list, please email Amy Dore at adore@diosag.org.

In peaceful silence, we hear the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit, inviting us to become the women God made us to be. 

Please join us for the Women’s Silent Retreat. There will be time to journal, express your creativity, experience silent prayer, and participate in spiritual direction if you choose. Mostly we will rest in the presence of our loving creator.
