A Weekend to Rest, Renew, and Encounter God's Love
Step away from the noise of everyday life and spend a weekend reconnecting with the One who sees you completely, knows you deeply, and loves you unconditionally.
Join Catholic women from across the country for a transformative retreat of prayer, rest, reflection, and authentic community.
September 4–6, 2026
**Only 40 Women Will Attend
Come Join Us!
What does it mean to be seen, known and loved?
We will be diving into three beautiful Scripture passages that highlight women encountering Jesus in profound and life-changing ways. Through these reflections, you’ll be invited to place yourself within these encounters—allowing Christ to meet you personally, speak into your heart, and reveal His love in a deeper way.
Retreat Conference Speaker will be Fr. Jack Soler from the Archdiocese of New York.
What You Can Expect
Throughout the weekend you'll have the opportunity to:
Experience deep spiritual renewal
through daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and the Sacraments.
Find rest from the demands of daily life
with a peaceful environment, private accommodations, and time for reflection.
Hear God's voice more clearly
through guided talks, prayer, silence, and personal reflection.
Build meaningful friendships
with women who share your desire to grow in faith.
Why Attend a Retreat?
Life is busy.
The responsibilities are real.
And while we often prioritize everything else, our relationship with God can quietly slip to the background.
A retreat creates space to pause.
Space to pray.
Space to listen.
Space to remember who you are before God.
For one weekend, you can set aside the demands of everyday life and focus on the relationship that matters most.
Imagine Leaving This Weekend...
More rested than you've felt in months
More connected to God
More confident in your identity as His beloved daughter
Encouraged by authentic Catholic friendships
Renewed in faith and ready to return home with peace
Frequently Asked Questions?
I've never attended Fiat90. Can I still come?
Absolutely. While many attendees are part of the Fiat90 community, all Catholic women are welcome.
I'm coming alone. Will I know anyone?
Many women attend without knowing anyone. The retreat is designed to foster authentic friendship and community.
What if I really need this but feel guilty taking time away?
This may be the most important reason to come.
You spend much of your life serving others. A retreat is an opportunity to allow God to serve, restore, and renew you.
Seen, Known, and Loved is a 3-day women’s retreat centered on encountering Christ in a deeply personal and transformative way. Through prayer, reflection, and conference talks, we will walk alongside the Samaritan woman, the hemorrhaging woman, and the women at the foot of the Cross—discovering how each was met by Jesus in her need, her suffering, and her longing.
This retreat invites you to bring your whole heart before the Lord and experience the truth that you are fully seen, intimately known, and deeply loved by Him.
