Help Lawrence attend Men’s Ignatian Retreat (SSPX)
Donation protected
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
My name is Lawrence Westfall, I’m 20 years old, and a citizen of the great state of West Virginia.
On top of that I am discerning the priesthood with the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) and hope to formally apply in the Spring of 2024. It has been advised by the vocations director of the U.S. District of the SSPX (Father J. McFarland) to attend a Men’s Ignatian Retreat in Ridgefield, Connecticut at St. Ignatius Retreat House.
The retreat will be from December 10th, 2023 A.D. to December 16th, 2023 A.D. (Date Edit)
Due to it being so close to Christmas and second semester college studies coming after this, I am asking for a bit of financial help. The main retreat costs $350. This is because “besides donations from friends and benefactors, normally the Retreat House has no other source of income and therefore charge the retreatants a nominal fee in order to cover expenses of room and board” (From the Website of the Retreat House - http://www.sspxridgefield.com/what-is-a-retreat).
I am asking for a bit more for travel, hopefully enough that will help not only cover the retreat, but also cover a flight from Charleston, WV to New York’s Westchester Airport.
If you can donate to this endeavor it would be greatly appreciated and truly a blessing, if you can’t, please offer your prayers for me and the other young men who may attend this retreat as well. I will offer my prayers for you.
Thank you all for reading this and helping in this retreat endeavor to better discern the priesthood.
In Christ Our Lord,
Lawrence Westfall
