Sponsored Weekend Retreats

Join Terry Hershey as he invites us to remember, accept, and appreciate the gift of “enough”. There is power in the word, enough – when just our presence in the moment can be a gift to ourselves and others. Then we can recognize and celebrate the sacrament of the present moment, knowing that the ordinary can be the hiding place for the holy. We carry the capacity to honor the present into every encounter and relationship, meaning that we honor the dignity that is reflected by God’s goodness and grace. Every encounter, every relationship, is a place to include, invite mercy, encourage, receive, heal, reconcile, repair, say thank you, pray, celebrate, refuel, and restore. We all need a time and a place that allows us—gives us permission—to pause and embrace the gift of enough, befriend our own heart, and be at home in our own skin. Terry invites us to gather and reflect on the ”enough” in our own lives, let our own light brighten the world a bit & make a difference.

Weekend Healing Retreat ~ The following prayer taken from John Kirvan's Silent Hope expresses very simply the essence of this retreat: "You who are beyond mystery hear my prayer. Let wonder loose in my soul. Let hope begin. Unwrap the mystery of your presence for without it, without you, I am living half a life. Without wonder, without hope my life is not, will not be worth living." The Retreat is an opportunity to allow the heart to be touched through the power of God's healing love. It offers times for quiet reflection and prayer, personal ministry, and daily celebration of the Eucharist. The sacrament of reconciliation will also be available for those wishing to avail themselves of the sacrament. There will be a general healing service on Saturday evening in the Chapel for all those wishing to attend.
