Genesis: A Pre-cana Retreat
February 20, 2027
The Genesis: Pre-Cana Retreat is a one-day marriage preparation retreat that seeks to bring couples into an encounter with the love of Christ through warmth and beauty, Scripture and Sacraments, prayer, witness, and accompaniment.
Engaged couples are preparing to say a wholehearted “I do” to one another on their wedding day. On the Genesis: Pre-Cana Retreat, a team of married couples delves into each of the wedding vows and shares God’s blessings in their journey of married life. What does this “yes” really entail? What makes the sacrament of marriage different than a civil marriage? What are man and woman called to be and become in the vocation of marriage? What does married love look like? What are the responsibilities as a Catholic husband and wife?
The retreat agenda includes a continental breakfast, lunch, four presentations, reflection and discussion time, Eucharistic adoration, and an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
NOTE: You only need ONE ticket per couple.

Beloved: An Evening of Sacred Music and Reflection
Tuesday, December 1, 2026 | 7:00 PM
As we enter the sacred season of Advent, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center warmly invites you to experience Beloved, a beautiful evening of sacred music, prayer, and reflection presented by The Vine, a Catholic evangelization and healing ministry based in Cincinnati.
This 75-minute prayerful encounter is designed to stir the heart and remind us of a profound truth: We are God's beloved children.
The evening features Spiritus, a 24-member choir directed by Dave Auxier, who previously served as music director at Immaculate Heart of Mary for 25 years. Sacred music will be woven together with short, meaningful reflections offered by Tori Frericks, MDiv, BCC, founder and director of The Vine.
Held in the peaceful and sacred setting of our Holy Rosary Chapel, Beloved offers a special opportunity to pause amid the busyness of the season, prepare our hearts for the Nativity of our Lord, and encounter the love of Christ.
"See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God." — 1 John 3:1

Class sessions
WEEKLY / IN-PERSON
Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director.
Activations
The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes "activations," or time for "activating" and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time.
Monday Nights | Praise 5:30 p.m. | Teaching 6 - 9pm
