Guided Retreat: June 3-11,2008

Theme: Growing in Wisdom & Grace

Presenter: Helene Cote, pm

With the dawning of each new day, we are invited to imitate Jesus and thus to grow in wisdom and grace. This retreat will focus on how to use the "stuff" of our every day lives to walk faithfully on this journey towards wholeness and holiness. Some of the topics presented will include naming our losses, learning to let go, claiming our personal vocation and the importance of finding balance in our lives.
