Notes:  

*The Cuban Catholic Church largely subsidizes its retreat house costs to help CEC implement more retreats and transform lives with Christ.

** The 15 servers receive two polos: a blue one to identify them as servers and a white one for the closing mass which everyone gets.

***Because the Cuban Catholic Church Subsidizes the costs of the retreat houses, the total costs of CEC retreats in Cuba are approximately 50% less expensive than the costs of retreats in South Florida .
