Retreat Offering
Retreatants are asked to prayerfully consider the amount that they are able to contribute towards the cost of the retreat. The offering that we suggest is $140 per person per night and respectfully ask those who are able to contribute more to prayerfully consider doing so to help support our scholarship fund. The actual cost per night is approximately $200 per person per night and we are grateful to the many generations of retreatants whose generosity allows us to discount the daily rate.
Gift Certificates
You may want to consider giving the gift of a lifetime….the gift that keeps giving. GIFT CERTIFICATES are available at Our Lady of the Oaks. Contact our office at 337-662-5410. These make wonderful Special Occasion gifts.
