Advent Almost Silent Retreat for Women
with Betsy Orr and Rev. Paul Moreau, VF
December 5 - 7, 2025
Father Paul Moreau and Heritage Founder Betsy Orr have been connected for nearly 2 decades. In 2007, Betsy, who was a Protestant Christian at the time, found herself at a silent retreat led by Father Paul which focused on the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Extended periods of silence that fateful weekend served as a major catalyst for deep conversion and Betsy’s reception into the Catholic Church 18 months later.
Early into the 2025 Advent season, Father Paul and Betsy are teaming up to offer an experience at Heritage which will provide the opportunity to weave more silence into your life and help prepare you to thrive in the Advent and Christmas season.
This program is open to guests age 18 and older.
