This daylong retreat at the Center for Ministry, sponsored by the Saginaw Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, will explore how the spirituality of the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Lisieux and St. Mother Teresa can enrich our Lenten journeys -- and our lives as beloved disciples of Jesus. 

Mass and Confessions are included. 

Are you a parent who has lost a child and would appreciate support? Whether it happens through miscarriage, stillbirth, or later in life, the death of a child is a deep and tragic loss for parents – and for their hopes and dreams for the future. No matter what the age, cause of death, or how much time has passed, the grief over the loss of a child weighs heavily on the hearts of parents. On Saturday, March 14, 2026, a one-day Emmaus Retreat for Grieving Parents will be offered at St Catherine of Sienna Parish in Bay City.

Learn your identity in Christ and how to be set free from spiritual and emotional obstacles. 

Encounter Jesus through Mass, Adoration, worship, and silence. 

The cost is $25 and includes lunch.
