Silent Saturday Morning Retreats
with Sr. Rebecca Shinas O.P.
I am pleased to announce that Sr. Rebecca Shinas will be leading two Saturday morning retreats here at St. Charles. The first retreat will be held this Saturday, October 23rd, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Sr. Rebecca will share her wisdom to deepen our Spiritual Journey as one deeply sourced by the Spirit.
Each retreat day will include four talks that will be woven in with prayer walks and meditation. Come ready to listen and receive the fullness of God’s presence and peace.
The second retreat - Sr. Rebecca's Advent Silent Retreat - will be held on December 11th, so please SAVE the DATE! The theme for this session will be "Living Life with an Open Heart".
I must also mention that Sr. Rebecca and I will be presenting a dialog session next Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm for the parents and adults of our parish. This will be the first of two dialogue sessions entitled "The Church in a Changing World".
More information about each of these events can be found below.
Blessings, everyone!
