St. Peter’s Parish Weekend Away
Every last weekend of April, our parish gets away to Shrine Mont, the camp and conference center for the Diocese of Virginia in Orkney Springs, VA. It’s a weekend of faith and fellowship. It’s a signature weekend for the parish.
April 23-25, 2027 | Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs, VA
The magic of Shrine Mont
Sit back and take in the views, the vitality, and joy of our 2025 Shrine Mont weekend filled with love, laughter, and joy. Then, turn to perusing photographs that capture our time together.
It’s a weekend not to miss!
Mark your calendars for next year: April 23-25, 2027
What do we do at Shrine Mont?
Check-in starts at 4 PM on Friday. The weekend ends with lunch on Sunday. A typical weekend includes hiking, a fishing derby, adult faith formation gatherings, family olympics, a talent school, and an ice-cream social.
All activities are optional - if you want to take a nap or a hike, read a book, or relax in a rocking chair and soak up all the natural beauty all weekend, that is fine too!
