Fiat Days
December 5-7, 2026 9th - 12th Grade Teens
@ Roslyn Retreat Center, Richmond
Registration Closes November 4th!
“Fiat” is a Latin word that refers to Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel, “May it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). The goal of Fiat Days is to bring high school aged women together who desire to grow in faithful discipleship and personal holiness to be better able to discover their own vocation from the Lord, with a special focus on the call to religious life. We will be joined by religious sisters from several communities for this three-day retreat.
Cost is $175. Scholarships are available!
