Hello everyone,</div>

<div class="ContentPasted0">I hope your semesters are all going well! I wanted to reach out and extend an invitation to our upcoming Fall Retreat. The retreat will take place October 6-8 (long weekend!) at the Betania II Spiritual Retreat Center (a beautiful
retreat center within walking distance of what is possibly the world's largest rosary!). The retreat will provide a much-needed break from the stress of MIT as well as many opportunities to grow closer to God and to your fellow TCC members. (See signups for
more information.)</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> The retreat is <b>free</b>, and you can sign up here:

<div style="list-style-type: "2. ";"><b>A:<span> </span></b>Yes, of course! The retreats we have are often the first retreat that some of the attendees have been on, and you don't have to be Catholic to attend.</div>

</li><li style="list-style-type: "3. ";"><b>Q: Will I have any time left in the weekend if I go on the retreat?</b>
<div style="list-style-type: "4. ";"><span class="ContentPasted1"><b>A:</b> Yes! Luckily, it's a long weekend, so assuming you have class till 5 pm Friday, and class on 9 am Wednesday (typically the latest + earliest possible classes), your weekend lasts 112
hours. </span><span style="">The retreat is from Friday at 7:30 pm until Sunday at noon, which is only 40.5 hours. So, even if you attend the retreat, you should still have 72 hours of free time left over the weekend (over 64% of your weekend!).</span></div>
