Facilitated by our own [Pat Gohn](http://catholicmom.com/author/pgohn/), the retreat promises to be both spiritually enriching and physically renewing. LMH* Lansing, MI: In collaboration with **FAITH Catholic Publishing and Communications, The Catholic Writers Guild**, will sponsor Your Word is My Delight, a Catholic writers' retreat, Oct 5-9, 2011. Come and delight in God's word and sacrament, and pray in a beautiful and serene retreat setting. The retreat's key presenter is **[Pat Gohn](http://www.patgohn.com/patgohn/About.html), Catholic columnist, podcaster and catechist**. Other presenters are Father Charles E. Irvin, David Krajewski, Father David Rosenberg and Father Larry Delaney. Writers will enjoy five spiritually-enriching days of daily Mass, adoration, the sacrament of reconciliation and many hours of writing time. Talks will explore how God speaks to and encourages writers through Scripture, papal writings and other topics in order to promote faith-filled writing. Opportunities for networking also will be offered through an informal "book bash and social hour" Wednesday evening and Faith Catholic's one-on-one "pitch sessions" that give writers the chance to sell their current writing projects. Cost for the four-day retreat is $450, which includes meals and accommodations. **Deadline for registration is Sept 28**. A nonrefundable deposit of $45 is required at registration. - To view a schedule of events, [click here](http://www.stfrancis.ws/portals/0/11%20CWR%20schedule.pdf). -  To download a brochure, [click here](http://stfrancisevents.artemis-staging.com/EventPdfs/CatholicWritersGuildRetreatAll.pdf). -  To register for the retreat [click here](http://tinyurl.com/3e48orj). ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2011%2F08%2F26%2Fcatholic-writers-to-enjoy-special-spiritual-retreat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2011%2F08%2F26%2Fcatholic-writers-to-enjoy-special-spiritual-retreat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2011%2F08%2F26%2Fcatholic-writers-to-enjoy-special-spiritual-retreat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Catholic%20Writers%20to%20Enjoy%20Special%20Spiritual%20Retreat) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2011%2F08%2F26%2Fcatholic-writers-to-enjoy-special-spiritual-retreat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2011%2F08%2F26%2Fcatholic-writers-to-enjoy-special-spiritual-retreat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Lisa M.
