If you struggle with infertility, you may feel isolated and wrestle with a lot of conflicting emotions. If this is your burden, you don’t have to carry it alone! The Archdiocese of St. Louis Office of NFP and Springs in the Desert are partnering to support couples carrying the cross of infertility with an overnight retreat. Come with your spouse or on your own to be supported, hear inspiring reflections, have opportunities for group sharing, and experience friendship with others on this same path.
