 Experience the Pascal Mystery through a retreat with our brothers and sisters in Colombia. Many people around the world have suffered from political wars, forced migration, drug violence, marginalization, and poverty. We have all suffered pain, loss and loneliness. This retreat is a blend of conferences, prayers, and reflections on the presence of God in the midst of our feelings of hurt, sufferings, and abandonment. Together we will search for the meaning behind all of the losses and pain of today.
Your participation in this retreat also supports the seminarians of Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) in Colombia.
You will be able to:
- Experience the liturgical celebrations of Holy Week
- Witness the impact of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart’s missions on marginalized communities.
- Visit a neighborhood for the poor built by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
- Visit the developing MSC retreat center in the countryside.
- Meet MSC seminarians and learn about their missions.
Total cost while in Colombia (including lodging, food, and ground transport): $500

About the MSC Mission in Colombia
In 1969, MSC from the USA began working in the parish of Santa Margarita Maria, which is located in a poor, working class section of Bogotá. Since then, the MSC in Colombia have been involved in a variety of pastoral activities such as youth programs, teaching, family enrichment programs and social services. For instance, the MSC have a long history of volunteering at Fundación Vida Nueva (New Life Foundation), which works with prostitutes and their children to help them break the cycle of prostitution. MSC seminarians teach catechism classes to the children there.
