Cornerstone is no mystery. It simply is a group of ordinary laymen of all ages and backgrounds supporting each other in their endeavor to live the gospel amid the challenges that the modern world presents. It is a down-to-earth, inspiring encounter in which people socialize, laugh, learn and grow...and eat well !
A team of Cornerstone veterans from the parish facilitates your retreat. Some of the team share their own life stories, after which you have the opportunity to discuss them with fellow retreatants in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. You may take part in the dialogue as much or as little as you wish.
The idea of Cornerstone is simple, but its impact is profound! Since the inception of this weekend retreat, thousands of men have experienced Cornerstone in over 50 parishes for more than 20 years. St. Mary of the Assumption was one of the first parishes in Delaware to offer Cornerstone, and the 2019 retreat will be our sixth installment, with many to follow.
Cornerstone is a retreat for men who:
Retreat from the bedlam of everyday life and reap the benefits of some peaceful down time?
Take time out from the daily stresses of living and meet interesting people of all ages and backgrounds in a friendly, informal atmosphere?
Reflect on your blessings, values and relationships, and refocus on what they mean to you?
Reconnect with the Church and renew your Faith in a relaxed, no-pressure environment?
