SATURDAY RETREATS
February 7th – Mary and the Holy Spirit
We have just spent 40 days (Christmas to the Presentation) pondering the fruit of the Blessed Mother’s Fiat and the Holy Spirit’s overshadowing. Come enter into the profound mystery of how these two continue to form Christ in you this very day. Learn how to discern their movements and practically follow their voice so that Christ may truly become your all in all.
March 7th – St Joseph
Come spend the day with St. Joseph, the silent pillar of our faith. Learn from his example how to live in deep silence, hopeful expectation and docility to Divine Providence. Some argue that we are in the Age of St. Joseph so come encounter this most wonderful Foster Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
May 2nd St Athanasius
Doctor of the Faith, Defender of the Divinity and Humanity of Christ, Successor of the Apostles and a man of great suffering. Spend the day with this amazing Father of our Faith. His witness, writings and story will provide deep reflection on what it means to follow Christ with your whole heart and how to accept sufferings for His sake.
June 6th Abide with Me: The Call of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
He remains silent, alone, and calling out to every human heart from the depths of every tabernacle throughout the world – do you hear His call? Learn how to listen to that still, small voice that cries out to the depths of your heart from His August Presence in the Most Holy Eucharist. Enter into the depths of His longing for you asking for but moments of the gift of your life. He is among us always – where are you?
