Dear Friends and Fellow Catholic Pilgrims,
It is my pleasure to present this extra-special opportunity to come together in community and embark on a retreat adventure of FAITH and FELLOWSHIP while discovering the wonders of Malta & Sicily. From sacred Cathedrals and spectacular Baroque architecture to ancient temples, we will engage in prayer and reflection. While exploring these beautiful places together we can feast on the finest local cuisine, and immerse ourselves in the magnificent views and landscapes. Let’s take some time to pause, reflect, and retreat into another world that will replenish our souls and form new friendships and lasting memories together.
Your friend in faith,
Urszula Cybulko
