WHAT IS MEN’S CORNERSTONE?
Welcome to Men’s Cornerstone Retreat—a powerful 26 hour journey intentionally crafted to breathe new life into your faith, friendships, and sense of purpose. Rooted in Christ as the Cornerstone of our lives, this retreat offers a space to pause, reflect, and connect deeply—with God, with fellow men, and with your truest self. Cornerstone begins at 7 pm on Friday and ends at 9 pm Saturday. It is held in the Parish Center at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. This get-together can help provide you with a greater understanding of your faith. It is not a Bible study group and is not what you may envision. Give it a try, you won’t regret it. Meals are provided for the duration of the event.
Who Should Attend?
Cornerstone is open to all men—young adults, fathers, grandfathers, single or married, lifelong Catholics or those just exploring their faith. You don’t need to be “churchy” or have all the answers. Just bring a willingness to be present.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING THE RETREAT?
You can expect an opportunity to:
● Relax and Retreat from everyday life
● Refocus on what is important in your life
● Reflect on the blessings in life
● Restore or Renew your faith in God
It is also a time to just meet others who may be experiencing the same challenges that you are. It is a very relaxed atmosphere with good food, plenty of laughs and an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
Who Leads Cornerstone?
The retreat is led entirely by men who have already experienced Cornerstone, supported by parish staff and priests. They provide guidance, support, and storytelling keyed to the journey of real life faith and renewal.
