Full Version: Paying For Retreats (yes Again)

It's a little complicated. Three of us are going to stay at a retreat center run by Sisters for nine days. (!) Two of us are discerning with the Sisters... so, as per the other thread, I'm thinking we two will call them as we're driving down and bring a good amount of soap, vegetables, or whatever they could particularly use. (And both leave a little money for our keep, I guess. Maybe $50 each. Unless they say they don't want it.)

The third girl was advised she should perhaps make a retreat with some religious, but she has no particular interest in this order (as of now) and is just happy to have some quiet time, Holy Mass, general advice from Sisters & priests, etc. She would probably have been fine with a rather shorter retreat, but she's pretty flexible. So it seems like she should probably pay more, since she isn't a prospective vocation, but more of a "business retreatant"? Perhaps $100? More? What would you advise? Hope this is coherent, please ask questions or whatever.
