Fundación MIR has officially announced its 30th ‘Retiro Carismatico’ 2023, aptly translated as the Charismatic Retreat. Set to transpire on Saturday, October 14, commencing at 8:00 a.m., the event will unfold at the Politecnico Fundación MIR, situated on Km #2 of the La Romana-Higueral highway.

A cherished annual tradition since its inception in 1990, the Charismatic Retreat bears the imprimatur of its distinguished organizers, Lian Fanjul de Azqueta and Lyanne Azqueta, President and Founder, and Executive Director of Fundación MIR, respectively. For Mrs. Lian Fanjul De Azqueta, the imperative is not only to furnish children and young individuals with an excellent education but also to inculcate the values of faith. Given the myriad socio-cultural dynamics they grapple with daily, she underscores that belief in God can be a wellspring of hope. Thus, the retreat becomes a vehicle for promoting spirituality and fraternal unity among Christians.

Each year, the retreat unfurls with a distinctive thematic resonance, serving as a conduit to open hearts, foster religious connections, and disseminate biblical wisdom. This year, the theme resonates with the biblical verse, «Vengan a mi todos los queue estén cargados y agobiados» San Mateo 11 28:30 — «Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,» Matthew 11 28:30. The retreat extends its welcome to individuals of all ages, encompassing children, teenagers, and adults, with a pledge of no admission fee.

The event promises to be spiritually enriching, featuring guests such as Mons. Ramon E. Albino Guzman of the Diocese of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico; Mrs. Carol Razza, clinical therapist and a worldwide preacher; Mr. Miguel Calzado and the Ministerio de Música Caná. Additionally, it will be graced by Community Siervos de Cristo Vivo members from Santo Domingo, steadfastly dedicated to disseminating God’s teachings.

The complete event schedule is outlined below for those eager to partake in this spiritual journey. Should you seek further details, the Fundación MIR offices stand at your service and can be reached at 809-523-8270.

This October 14, make it a date with spirituality, as Fundación MIR’s Charismatic Retreat continues its tradition of spiritual nourishment and community communion.
