July 22 to 27 - “Jesus came close and touched them, saying: „Rise, and have no fear‟.” MT 17.7 Presented by Father Jim Gavin, OFM, Cap.
After the Transfiguration event, the disciples falling on their faces and trembling from great fear, and Jesus touching them and raising them up, seeing “only Jesus”, inaugurates a way of possessing and enjoying divine beauty in the very midst of the world’s darkness, pain, and distress.
There is a need in God’s nature to communicate Goodness and Beauty utterly in the WORD. Using Biblical narrative and Psalms, this relaxed preached retreat will allow us to enjoy the inner stillness that is formed by a disciplined pursuit of compassionate response to God’s Beauty. We will celebrate daily Eucharistic liturgy, two daily gentle conferences, and a communal sacrament of anointing and reconciliation, (all optional). Father will conclude his program on Friday after lunch; guests are welcome to stay until Saturday morning.
Offering: $450.00

“Peace is My gift to you” (John 14:27) Presented by Father Anthony Ciorra
Jesus offers us that “peace which the world cannot give; that peace which is beyond all understanding.” God desires peace of mind, body, and spirit for you so you can minister God’s healing love to the world.
This retreat will guide you along the pathway that leads to God’s gift of Shalom by embracing the Sacrament of the Present Moment. A spirituality of gratitude is the key that will open the door to a deeper experience of God’s gift of peace during this retreat.
