The Holy Spirit, and Jesus will be in the Adoration Chapel.  Thirty to sixty residents of various religious preferences will spend three days with a team of 20-40 outside volunteers who may travel from other states supporting  new Kansas volunteers, serving as table leaders, speakers, mentors. Music is provided by volunteers and residents will play ing hymns and spiritual music.  Priests will hear Confessions and celebrate two Masses, and several Deacons will be present.

​

Volunteers attend a Commission Mass the night before the retreat. The retreat begins by welcoming the residents to the retreat followed by processing the Monstrance into the Adoration Chapel.  The retreat then kicks off with a formal welcome, and a set of discussions about the purpose and objectives of the retreat.  Much of the focus of the retreat is a discussion of a variety of Catholic topics in small groups at individual tables, interspersed with talks and testimonies from residents who have previously attended these retreats, and talks on the Sacraments and the Stations of the Cross.  Music is integral to the retreat.  Day two is concerned with forgiveness, praying the Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, Reconciliation, followed by Mass and dinner, catered by the KPM team.  The third and last day has Adoration, Mass, testimony with group discussion on a variety of Catholic issues.  The Kolbe retreat has a deeply moving foot washing ceremony, which typically transfixes the prisoners attending.  There is a final talk that emphasizes forgiveness and reconciliation as well as ongoing Catholic Faith Formation.  Certificates of participation are distributed, along with letters of encouragement.
