ORACLE PENTECOST Retreat
ORACLE Pentecost Retreat: is an event of two days awaiting the celebration of Pentecost. Pentecost is a Christian celebration of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus Christ after His Ascension into glory. Christ’s apostles along with his disciples waited 10 days after His Ascension. Love was worth waiting for!
The ORACLE Pentecost Retreat illustrates through praying, teachings, and healings that this LOVE is worth waiting for. One learns from Old Testament and New Testament who the Holy Spirit is as a PERSON, identifying His LOVE Life and mission. LOVE worth waiting for!
The ORACLE Retreat is saturated in prayer. It involves: “Personal Prayer,” “Prayer of the Church [Liturgy of the Hours]” “Prayer Groups,” “Prayer Warriors (Intercessors).”
This Pentecost Retreat moves participants to exam one’s personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and one’s communication skills with God.

WWW: Well Women Witness
Witnessing: Women are commissioned to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…” Witness is communicated not only as testimonials intended to bring others to Christ, but by the Well woman’s life.
WWW: Well Women Witness is a women’s Retreat based on THREE women in the Bible: 1) The Samaritan woman at the Well (John 4:1-42), 2) The woman with the alabaster box (Matt. 26: 6-15), and 3) Mary, at the foot of the Cross of her Son (John 19:25-30). Blessing each other in Jesus’ Name, invoking the Holy Spirit to “stir the waters,” we experience anointing and healing. There’s a spirit-filled WWW Prayer Service; The Gospel is dramatized with Bible teachings. Women gather with alabaster boxes of perfumed oil for meditations with “letter writing.”
The Meditations: A mirror meditation, rock meditation, Cross meditation and Closing Mass all lend themselves to women “Encountering Jesus Christ.”
Commissioned: to “Witness to the Glory of God,” Well women, Second-Line with umbrellas as they sing: “When the Saints Go Marching In!”
Joined by the “Cloud of Witnesses,” Well women, like the woman at the well, run out and declare to others, “Come! Come and see...” And others will know for themselves: “...truly Jesus is the Savior of the world.” They will go to family, friends, in parking lots, super markets, even clubs to share their WWW experience, “Encountering Jesus Christ.”

The History of the WWW Program:WWW: Well Women Witness began at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Norfolk, VA. of the Diocese of Richmond, VA. There, one hundred four (104) African American and African women gathered at the Well!
As a national program, WWW was able to travel to parishes and dioceses and catechize women who longed for spiritual growth. From 2015 to the present WWW found its way from the Basilica in Norfolk to Washington, DC @ St. Teresa of Avila 3X’s, Incarnation Catholic Church (DC) (3X’s), New Orleans, LA (Hosted St. Mary’s Academy), Wilmington, DE, (St. Joseph Catholic Church, Fr. Paul William, OFM -pastor), the Diocese of Pittsburgh (Dr. Greta Stokes Tucker), returning to DC @ Centro Maria Center (DC) Feb., 2018, and in DC Incarnation Catholic Church, Fr. John Carroll, SSJ (October 27, 2018). Numerous women have returned to WWW three (3) to eight (8) times.
A book, Well Women Witness ~ Letters from Christ authored by Sr. Dr. Oralisa Martin, was published in 2018. WWW Small Groups in numerous cities emerged as a result of Women’s individual experiences of letter writing through the book.
With life’s “normal” interrupted by COVID-19, WWW: Well Women Witness now returns with a new vigor. Instead of the one Biblical text of the Samaritan woman, there are now three women. Instead of a one-day retreat, WWW is a weekend conference retreat. Instead of ministering to locals, women travel from abroad to attend the Retreat.
