Children need adults in their lives who live their vocation. Priests, religious, and especially parents on the path to sainthood… adults who exhibit heroic virtue!
The Diocese of Grand Island’s Heroic Virtue Family Retreat offers three days of real-life formation, fun family activities, beautiful liturgies, and worship. Accompanied by priests, religious, and lay leaders, families are empowered to live out their calling as disciples on the path to holiness.

What families had to share from last year’s event.
"Thank you for making this happen in our diocese. We can’t explain how incredible it was to experience a faith-based retreat as a family."
"The idea of creating and setting aside a space in our home with the "soul" purpose of bringing the family closer to heaven hadn't occurred to us. Having an easily accessible prayer space has greatly enriched our family since the retreat.”
