    Who we are

    We are Christ-centered volunteers providing accessible spiritual retreats to individuals who find it difficult to participate in standard religious retreats because of their physical challenges. We meet Diocese of Palm Beach screening requirements for working with vulnerable adults.

    What we offer

    Weekend retreats

     AIM provides annual overnight weekend retreats in South Florida. Though in-person retreats have been interrupted by the pandemic, they are expected to resume in 2023. Participants are adults (ages 18 and above) with physical disabilities, and volunteers who assist them during the retreat and their two-night stay. Details about the next weekend retreat will be posted when available.

    Virtual mini retreats

    Every two months, AIM holds a 1 1/2-hour online mini retreat open to all. Each mini retreat includes community building, prayers, songs, and talks given by a Catholic priest based on Biblical passages. Our next mini retreat will take place on Zoom on Aug. 13, 2022, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. The retreat theme is: "Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus." It will be led by Monsignor Stepen Bosso.

    Days of Spiritual Renewal

    From time to time, AIM offers a one-day, in-person retreat at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Boca Raton. The one-day retreats start in the morning and go until mid-afternoon. The most recent Day of Spiritual Renewal was held on  Saturday, June 18, 2022.  The theme was: "Encountering God's unconditional love on the road to forgiveness and healing." No date has been chosen yet for the next Day of Spiritual Renewal.

    Who we serve

    While AIM retreats are based on Catholic beliefs and practices, they are open to people of all faiths who have a physical disability. Unfortunately, we are not equipped to serve adults with severe medical conditions, intellectual disabilities or mental illness.
