Fiat Ministries Discernment Retreat
Fiat Ministries Discernment Retreat is named after Mary's joyful response to God's will. Fiat refers to the moment Mary responded to God by proclaiming, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, may it be done to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38)
Fiat Ministries seeks to foster prayer, self knowledge, and authentic discernment in young Catholic women through a true relationship with Jesus Christ. Fiat Ministries Discernment Retreat, at its heart, is Christocentric, Eucharistic, Sacramental, Marian, and Prayerful. Fiat Ministries Discernment Retreat is for women ages 18 - 28, who are seeking God's will for their life. It is led by a team of lay people from Wichita, KS. Consecrated sisters from various communities assist at the retreat by giving talks, leading small groups, giving their testimonies, and providing a joyful witness of what it means to be a consecrated religious sister. |

MSP Catholic
Click Here for Link to MSP Catholic Website MSP Catholic started with the realization that there are so many amazing Catholic things happening in the Twin Cities...but they aren't always that easy to find. This is where it all comes together so that it's easier to get involved, find out what's going on outside of your network, and invite others to join you. Our hope is to centralize and amplify the great things our groups, parishes, and individuals are doing. Do we have everything on our site? No, but we're making connections and adding new things all the time. YOU can be a huge asset in that. If there's something that our audience needs to know about, please drop us a note so we can get more people involved in the great work of our Catholic community. MSP Catholic is an initiative run by CEND - the Center for Evangelization and Discipleship - whose mission is to help all Young Adults find a home in a Catholic parish. This website is only half of the story of what we do. Click below to find out more. Click Here for Link to MSP Catholic Website |
