Becoming a New Creation in Christ
Tuesday, April 21 – Thursday, April 23
Seminary of the Immaculate Conception, Huntington, NY
God desires not just to reform us—but to make us new.
This retreat is an invitation to shift from self-reliance to God-reliance, allowing His grace to redeem, renew, and reform every part of your life—body, mind, and soul.
Nothing is impossible with God.
“If anyone is in Christ,
the new creation has come:
The old has gone.
The new is here.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
From Old Life to New Life
“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”
– 2 Corinthians 12:9
Give God Your FIAT
Just as Mary’s fiat—“Let it be done to me according to Your word” (Luke 1:38)—allowed the Holy Spirit to bring forth new life, your “yes” can do the same.
Every yes to God:
Breaks chains of attachment, fear and self-reliance
Opens the door to healing and renewal
Draws you closer to freedom, peace, and life in abundance
“I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”
– John 10:10
