Are you involved in a parish, ministry, or movement in which you are helping to form and serve others? Maybe you’re a catechist or coordinator in PREP or RCIA, or you’re on the Parish Leadership Team. Maybe you volunteer with Alpha or another small-group faith study. Or perhaps there’s another way in which you serve others in your parish that is not listed here.

This retreat is an invitation to pause from all the ways in which you serve others and spend some intentional time receiving from the Lord, during the Advent Season. You’ll have both the opportunity for personal reflection and prayer and to connect with others serving in other parishes and ministries throughout the diocese.
Registration Deadline: Monday, Dec. 1 by 12 noon.
Retreat begins at 10 a.m. but we invite you to join us for the 9 a.m. parish Mass. Cost includes lunch.
The first 30 people to register and will receive a free copy of Henri Nouwen's book "Here and Now: Living in the Spirit." This book will offer an opportunity for you be inspired to continue to find God in the ordinary moments of everyday life, even once the retreat has ended.
