SAINT PAUL’S WOMEN’S WEEKEND RETREAT FEBRUARY 4TH, 5TH AND 6TH, 2010.
Please join other women from our parish for a weekend retreat that lasts from Friday evening through Sunday morning. This time apart from the day-to-day obligations and other necessary distractions gives us an opportunity to know that our God is near.
This year’s retreat theme, “BLESSED~BROKEN~SHARED” explores the Eucharistic actions of Jesus and how they are reflected in our own sacred journeys. From the beginning, we are gifted with God’s unconditional love. We are His beloved…His chosen ones. As we move through life, we experience darkness, failure and loss, yet remain blessed by God and realize that these times of “brokenness” bring us to human and spiritual maturity. Throughout the retreat weekend, we will examine ways in which we have been transformed, leading us to see our gifts in new ways as we reach out to share Christ’s love with others.
Please call Our Lady of Calvary at 860-677-8519 to register for this retreat or for an alternate weekend. Feel free to call Linda Guzzardi at 860-828-0275 for more retreat information or for information about retreat financial support scholarships. Registration forms are available at the entrances to the church.
