Retreat "buddies"  provide one-on-one assistance during in-person retreats to help participants overcome the obstacles posed by their vision, hearing, speech, mobility or other physical disabilities. 

AIM angel volunteers go the extra mile to ensure retreatants and their buddies have a great retreat.

AIM Benefactors

 AIM counts on the generosity of others to help defray the costs of its weekend retreats, so potential participants are not turned away for financial reasons.


Through the years, AIM has benefitted from the generosity of the Knights of Columbus, the Columbiettes, the Sisters of Mercy and many caring individuals who have given in accordance with their means.


Most recently, an AIM volunteer who is a realtor generously donated his commission on the sale of a house to the ministry and promises to do so again.


In June 2021, the Notre Dame Club of Boca Raton received the Notre Dame University Alumni Association's Chuck and Joan Lennon Gospel of Life Initiative Prize to support the AIM ministry. 

 

AIM is very grateful to the organizations and individuals who make our retreats possible. 

Donations welcome

You can help continue the mission of AIM to provide a Catholic-based retreat experience to adults with physical disabilities. Your contribution will allow individuals to participate regardless of their financial situation.

How to donate
