Change Of Date For Beginning Experience Weekend

Amarillo—The dates for the next Beginning Experience Weekend in the Diocese of Amarillo have been changed.

The weekend, which was set for Friday, Aug. 21 to Sunday, Aug. 23, has been rescheduled for Friday, Feb. 19 to Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021, at the Bishop DeFalco Retreat Center, 2100 North Spring.

 The healing weekend retreat for those impacted by the loss of a spouse through death, divorce or separation includes a program, program materials, two nights lodging and five meals. Cost of the weekend is $225 for a shared room or $285 for a single room.
 
“ Beginning Experience Weekend is not a singles club,” said BDRC executive director Linda Astuto. “This is a weekend that transforms lives. It makes a real difference. Adults become more effective parents, they develop healthier family relationships and they begin to deal with the pain of their loss, their anger and so much more. In fact, independent research published in the Journal of Divorce and Remarriage has shown that the impact of a Beginning Experience Weekend is more profound and longer lasting than that of support and informational groups for the single-again.”
