AGE LIMIT
This event is for individuals in their 20’s and 30’s. If you were born before April 12, 1979 or after April 14, 1999, you may not attend this retreat. You can find other great retreats and activities for Catholics at www.catholicnyc.com.
COMMITMENT TO ATTEND ENTIRE RETREAT
The retreat begins with check-in from 7:00pm to 8:00pm on Friday night, and ends at 4:00pm on Sunday afternoon. You must attend the retreat in its entirety. We are not able to accommodate retreatants arriving late, departing early, or leaving the retreat center for part of the weekend. Please do not make plans or travel arrangements for Sunday afternoon. This applies to those taking the bus and those taking personal vehicles as we will need all-hands-on-deck for cleanup of the retreat house–drivers included!
FIRST-TIME ATTENDEE TICKETS
We are blessed to have a high level of interest in these retreats and we are grateful for the fruit that has been borne of this ministry. In order to share this opportunity with new retreatants, we are reserving 20 Women’s and 20 Men’s tickets for first-time attendees. You may select this ticket option if you are local to the New York City metro area and have never attended a Frassati Fellowship of NYC retreat.
WAITLIST
If tickets are listed as sold out, please opt for a Waitlist ticket and we will contact you if and when spots open up. We will prioritize requests from retreatants who are local to the New York City metro area. Please do not make arrangements to travel to this retreat if you are on the Waitlist or have not yet registered.
RETREAT FEE
The retreat registration fee includes accommodations at Villa Maria on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as six meals and all retreat activities.
If you desire to attend the Spring Retreat but are experiencing financial hardship, we invite you to apply for scholarship assistance. Prayerfully consider the amount you are able to contribute and email retreats@frassati.nyc to request a 1/3 scholarship ($60 scholarship, you pay $100); 2/3 scholarship ($110 scholarship, you pay $50); or full scholarship. Please briefly explain the specific financial reasons prompting you to apply for scholarship assistance and describe your past and present involvement in Frassati Fellowship. Inquire by February 28th for priority consideration. We will prayerfully consider all requests received and allocate funds in accordance with available resources. Please be assured that the information you submit will be held in strict confidence.
TRANSPORTATION
Parking is available at Villa Maria Guadalupe for those who plan to drive to the retreat.
Transportation by bus will be available from NYC. There is a $35 charge if you will need the bus in EITHER direction (meaning that one way and round trip are the same price). You can add a bus ticket to your registration order BEFORE pressing the green checkout button. Make sure to purchase your bus ticket on or before March 10th so that we can secure an appropriate-size bus. If the bus fills up, remaining retreatants will need to make their own travel arrangements.
The bus will depart at 6:15 p.m. on Friday from St. Vincent Ferrer Church (869 Lexington Ave, between 65th and 66th Streets) to Villa Maria. Please be on time if you select this option. We will return to the same location on Sunday evening.
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Under “Donation to Scholarship Fund,” you have the option of donating to support our brothers and sisters who are experiencing financial hardship and need financial assistance to attend this retreat. If you are able to donate here, please do!
REFUNDS
Registration is non-transferable–only the person registered for the retreat can attend. Last-minute cancellations make it difficult to find someone to take your spot. Please be considerate of others who may want to attend and only sign up if you fully intend to come on this retreat. Nevertheless, we understand that sometimes plans change. If you cannot attend, please let us know ASAP.
These are the deadlines for receiving a full or partial refund if you cancel:
Until March 15: Full Refund
March 16 to March 22: $75 refund
March 23 to March 29: $50 refund
March 30 to April 2: $25 refund
Thanks for your interest, and may God bless you!
