Basic Christian Community of Hawaii Adult Spiritual Retreat Dec 4-6, 2026

The Basic Christian Community of Hawaii warmly invites you to a grace-filled weekend retreat inspired by the theme, “I Will Sing of the Goodness of God.” Step away from the busyness of daily life and open your heart to a sacred time of prayer, music, fellowship, and renewal. Together, we will discover how every note can become a prayer, every voice can offer praise, and every song can lead us closer to God. Whether you sing with confidence, hum quietly, or simply love to listen, you are welcome. Come as you are, join people of all ages, and let God’s goodness fill your heart, lift your soul, and give you a new song to carry home.

What to Expect:

• Dynamic Talks: Relevant discussions connecting our Catholic faith with everyday life.
• Community: Opportunities to meet others, share stories, and grow in fellowship.
• Prayer & Sacraments: Daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and time for personal reflection and reconciliation.
• Shared Meals: Engaging the retreat's theme through community dining and conversations.

Taking place in the cool hills of Kalihi Valley where the beauty of nature abounds, retreatants will be offered a space for prayer, reflection, and connection with the teachings of the Catholic faith in a loving Christian community.

Located deep in the valley of the Koolau mountain range, Basic Christian Community of Hawaii (BCCH) offers a two-night retreat for men and women led by spiritual directors, the Very Reverend Msgr. Gary Secor of the Diocese of Honolulu, and Sr. Meristella Umdor, a Missionary Sister of Mary Help of Christians. Retreatants come to enjoy the natural beauty of the peaceful location, and the freedom from modern distractions. Since 1985, BCCH has welcomed guests to experience true Christian community, found in song, prayer, witness talks, educational and reflective experiences, and small faith-sharing groups. This retreat is ideal for anyone seeking to find peace this Lent in expectant faith for a true relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
