Retreat Director
Ms. Ana Tsai
"Retreat is a time to Stop, Listen, Watch, and Search. It is a sacred moment to rebuild our relationship with God. Retreat gives us a chance to find who God is and who we are. It gives space to allow us to touch our deepest desires. Retreat is to have a vacation with God!"
